This development environment uses Docker to automate the process of setting up the dependencies. It is designed so as to be as simple to use as possible, and allows you to focus on the development, without having to worry about the infrastructure. We recommend that you use Visual Studio Code to develop your application, as it is at this time the best IDE for in-container development.

Your machine must be able to run Docker. You can download Docker for your OS from here.
Once VSCode is installed, open the repository as a folder (Ctrl + K then Ctrl + O), go to the extension tab and add the Remote - Containers extension. Make sure it is enabled. Now, open the command palette (default shortcut is Ctrl + Shift + P) and select Remote - Containers: Reopen in Container.

This will create the Docker environment. This step might take a while, depending on both your internet connection and the available computing power, but it will only run once, as the Docker environment is cached.

Once the environment is created, you can open the code workspace by going to File > Open Workspace from File... and selecting App.code-workspace. Your environment is now ready to use.

You can now run the application either by pressing F5 in the editor, or by opening a new terminal (default is Ctrl + J) and typing:

yarn start
