# Development environment
[![Gitpod ready-to-code](https://img.shields.io/badge/Gitpod-ready--to--code-blue?logo=gitpod)](https://gitpod.io/#https://github.com/babybuddy/babybuddy)
Click the Gitpod badge to open a new development environment in Gitpod or use the
information and steps below to set up a local development environment for Baby Buddy.
## Requirements
- Python 3.7+, pip, pipenv
- NodeJS 18.x and NPM 8.x (NVM recommended)
- Gulp
- Possibly `libpq-dev`
- This is necessary if `psycopg2` can't find an appropriate prebuilt binary.
## Installation
1. Install pipenv per [Installing pipenv](https://pipenv.pypa.io/en/latest/install/#installing-pipenv)
1. Install required Python packages, including dev packages
```shell
pipenv install --three --dev
```
If this fails, install `libpq-dev` (e.g. `sudo apt install libpq-dev`) and try again.
1. Installed Node 18.x (if necessary)
```shell
nvm install 18
```
1. Activate Node 18.x
```shell
nvm use
```
1. Install Gulp CLI
```shell
npm install -g gulp-cli
```
1. Install required Node packages
```shell
npm install
```
1. Set, at least, the `DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE` environment variable
```shell
export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=babybuddy.settings.development
```
This process will differ based on the host OS. The above example is for
Linux-based systems. See [Configuration](../configuration/intro.md) for other
settings and methods for defining them.
1. Migrate the database
```shell
gulp migrate
```
1. Create cache table
```shell
gulp createcachetable
```
1. Build assets and run the server
```shell
gulp
```
This command will also watch for file system changes to rebuild assets and
restart the server as needed.
