## Getting started 🔧
### Prerequisite
Make sure you have a recent version of Docker and [Docker
Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install) installed on your laptop:
```bash
$ docker -v
Docker version 27.5.1, build 9f9e405
$ docker compose version
Docker Compose version v2.32.4
```
> ⚠️ You may need to run the following commands with `sudo` but this can be
> avoided by assigning your user to the `docker` group.
### Bootstrap project
The easiest way to start working on the project is to use GNU Make:
```bash
$ make bootstrap
```
This command builds the `app-dev` container, installs dependencies, performs
database migrations and compile translations. It's a good idea to use this
command each time you are pulling code from the project repository to avoid
dependency-related or migration-related issues.
Your Docker services should now be up and running! 🎉
Note that if you need to run them afterward, you can use the eponym Make rule:
```bash
$ make run
```
You can check all available Make rules using:
```bash
$ make help
```
### Django admin
You can access the Django admin site at
[http://localhost:8071/admin](http://localhost:8071/admin).
You first need to create a superuser account:
```bash
$ make superuser
```
You can then login with sub `admin` and password `admin`.
### Run frontend
Run the front with:
```bash
$ make run-with-frontend
```
Then access [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000) with :
user: drive
password: drive
