Tools & Setup

Tools & Setup

TL;DR: The primary development platform is Linux. Install Docker and Docker Compose for container-based workflows. Windows users should configure WSL 2 first.

Overview

Following a project's README.md may get it running, but productive development requires additional tooling and configuration. This page provides guidance on setting up a complete development environment.

Operating System

The primary development platform is Linux. All documentation and scripts are validated for Linux environments. Platform-specific notes:

Windows

• Set up Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) first.
• For SSH key management on WSL 2, see Use an SSH agent in WSL.

Containers

Most projects use Docker and Docker Compose for local development and testing:

• Docker Installation
• Docker Compose Installation
• Docker with WSL Setup
