Installing locally

Before installing, make sure you have nodejs 18.18.x installed and mysql installed. If mysql isn’t installed, make sure you have it setup on the cloud and have a connection string ready.

For Mac

Fastest way to install is by running the script on our homepage inside your terminal.

This will:

• make a directory(operational.co)
• git clone the repo
• Setup a .env file for /backend
• Install dependencies

After that, all you need to do is to run the commands the script will tell you to, and then visit localhost:8080 and follow the onboarding guide.

For Windows

We don’t have a terminal script. But its very easy to install.

• Git clone the repo on your machine
• cd to operational.co/backend and create an env file and add DATABASE_URL and a random SECRET env var:

DATABASE_URL="your_connection_string_here"
SECRET="any_random_string_here"

• Run npm run build
• Run npm run dev
• Then cd to ../operational.co/app
• Run npm run buid
• Run npm run dev

Then open up localhost:8080 in your browser and follow the onboarding steps.
