Setup toolchain

Installing asdf

We recommend using asdf-vm for installing the tools you need (like node or rust). Follow the instructions to install asdf on their site "Getting started". You will need the following tools:

• nodejs
• yarn
• rust when you work on the repo serlo.org-database-layer

In order to install a tool you need to run the following commands:

# Install the asdf plugin for the tool, like `nodejs`
asdf plugin add <tool-name>

# List all available versions for the tool
asdf list all <tool-name>

# Install the tool in the version (the most recent one, `16.x` for `nodejs`)
asdf install <tool-name> <version>

Make yourself familiar on how you can set a version with asdf. When you use the asdf local variant make sure, that you have .tool-versions in your global .gitignore file.

For installing yarn the command might look like:

asdf plugin add yarn
asdf list all yarn
asdf install yarn 1.22.18
asdf global yarn 1.22.18

Cloning the repository

Clone the repository you want to work in. Follow the instructions in the README.md for setting up the work environment.
