Introduction

CourseLit is a batteries included learning management system (aka LMS) for everyone. It is an open source alternative to Techable, Thinkific, Podia, Teachery, LearnDash and the likes.

It comes pre-equipped with all the basic tools you need to efficiently run and administer your online teaching business. Features include course authoring, student management, payment processing (via Stripe), website builder, custom sales pages and analytics (very limited as of now).

Development

The project is organised as a mono-repo. It uses Yarn workspaces for managing the mono-repo.

Then replace the values in .env file located inside the apps/web folder with your enviroment's configuration.

Now run the following commands from the root directory of the project.

# Install dependencies

CourseLit uses MediaLit as its backend for managing media assets. It is a paid service and you need to have an account on it to store your files in the cloud.
