Laptop Setup - Ruby Microservices Workshop

Software Prerequisites

Ruby (minimum version: 2.4)
Postgres (minimum version: 9.5)
Git (minimum version: 2)
GCC (already included with Apple XCode Developer Tools)

Quick Test of Your Setup

Start Postgres

If you've installed Postgres through Homebrew on Mac:

launchctl load -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/homebrew.mxcl.postgresql.plist

If you don't want to start it as a daemon, open a new terminal window and run:

postgres -D /usr/local/var/postgres

On nix:

sudo systemctl start postgresql

Clone the Test Repository

Clone the skeleton of the example project that we'll be working with through the course of the workshop:

git clone git@github.com:eventide-tutorial/account-component-skeleton.git

Change Directory to the Project Directory

cd account-component-skeleton

Install the Gems

./install_gems.sh

Create the Database

A database named event_source along with a user of the same name will be created.

Run:

bundle exec evt-pg-recreate-db

Run the Test

./test.sh

If everything is working correctly, you should see the following output:

Running /Users/sbellware/projects/eventide/tutorial/account-component-skeleton/test/automated/database_connection.rb
