Complete guide to run minds for development

[Bitlitas]

Hi. I try to run minds on local server by docs tutorial, but have no success. I always got some errors. Can someone help me and show how to do a fresh install?

[noiseunit]

I too am getting the same 'cli.php: [EXCEPTION:Cassandra\Exception\RuntimeException] Keyspace 'minds' does not exist' error.

installer_1 | Running install
installer_1 | - Checking passed options: OK
installer_1 | - Building configuration file: OK
installer_1 | - Loading new configuration: OK
installer_1 | - Setting up data storage (ignore errors, if any):
installer_1 | cli.php: [EXCEPTION:Cassandra\Exception\RuntimeException] Keyspace 'minds' does not exist

Everything else with the new docker-compose instructions seems to be working.

However, since I know absolutely zero about Cassandra I fear I will not be much help tracking down what is going rogue. While doing ome snooping in the Cassandra startup I do not see a "minds" key space being created and indeed it is not listed in '/Volumes/Data/git/minds/cassandra/data/system_schema/keyspaces-someHash/mc-9-bit-TOC.txt'

Please, update docs or make a tutorial how to install minds for development 👍

Developers seem to have abandoned the community here.

@markharding, any insights here?

Appreciate the help

I am debugging this issue for myself for sometimes.
This error is from this line:

$this->session = $this->cluster->connect($options['keyspace']); in engine/Core/Data/Cassandra/Client.php.

When attaching to the cassandra containder, and run following command:

cqlsh> DESCRIBE KEYSPACES ; system_traces system_schema system_auth system system_distributed

There is no keyspace called 'minds'.
I am searching through the code, hoping to see how to create the 'minds' keyspace.
Once found, this issue should be fixed.

Please follow the instructions here: https://github.com/minds/minds#development-installation

I have tried to install and found that cassandra-provision.cql is missing from engine's source code.
Please commit cassandra-provision.cql also.
