Assign the proper key values to the .env.dev file

To start The Phoenix server:

• Install dependencies with mix deps.get
• Create and migrate your database with mix ecto.create && mix ecto.migrate
• Install Node.js dependencies with cd /apps/mock_forum_web/assets && npm install
• Start Phoenix endpoint with mix phx.server

Additional Windows Specific Setup

Due to the nature of some required mix packages. Some packages were only configured to be compiled under the Linux/Mac environment.

We can temporary resolve this issue by doing a semi-hackey fix by compiling it with the GNU make packages for windows.

Packages Currently effected as of 6-11-2017

• unicode_util_compat (0.2.0) - Dependency of UeberAuth
• certifi (1.2.1) - Dependency of UeberAuth

Temp-Solution

• Download and install the Complete GNU make package in the default install directory.

• Set your system environmental variables to point to the make application. - Will require a restart on all command consoles once done

  • Warning: setx can be potentially destructive if not assigning PATH correctly.

    $: setx PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin

  • If you don't feel comfortable using setx, follow the java guide for accessing a GUI interface.

    Add the C:\Program Files (x86)\GnuWin32\bin to your System's Path list

• Modifying dependencies - Replace the following files

  1. deps/certifi/rebar.config

     {erl_opts, []}.
     
     {pre_hooks, [{"(linux|darwin|solaris)", compile, "make -C certs_spec all"},
          {"(freebsd|openbsd)", compile, "gmake -C certs_spec all"},
          {"(win32|win64)", compile, "make -C certs_spec all"}]}.
     

  2. deps/unicode_util_compat/rebar.config.script

     _ = code:ensure_loaded(unicode_util),
     case erlang:function_exported(unicode_util, gc, 1) of
     
     true -> CONFIG;
     false ->
         [{pre_hooks, [{"(linux|darwin|solaris)", compile, "make -C uc_spec all"},
                     {"(freebsd|openbsd)", compile, "gmake -C uc_spec all"},
                     {"(win32|win64)", compile, "make -C uc_spec all"}]} | CONFIG]
     end.
     
     

• Force recompile - $: mix deps.compile --force
