1. Get set up with Heroku

  2. Set up redis as a daemonized process redis-server --daemonize yes

  3. Make a local database named vha_dev with your username, which should be the same as your default system user name as given by whoami. On windows you'll need to do this another way.

    createdb -h localhost -U `whoami` -w vha_dev

  4. Test your database connection in Postico. Your username will be different

  5. Create an .env file and .env.local file with the following contents. Go to https://dashboard.heroku.com/apps/virtual-hospitals-africa/settings and copy environment variables from there

    SELF_URL=https://localhost:8000
DATABASE_URL=postgres://willweiss@localhost:5432/vha_dev
                      # ^ replace with your actual database username

# You'll need these from the live project
GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=$COPIED_FROM_HEROKU
GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=$COPIED_FROM_HEROKU
GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY=$COPIED_FROM_HEROKU

WHATSAPP_BEARER_TOKEN=$COPIED_FROM_HEROKU
WHATSAPP_FROM_PHONE_NUMBER=$COPIED_FROM_HEROKU
WHATSAPP_WEBHOOK_VERIFY_TOKEN=$COPIED_FROM_HEROKU

  6. Migrate the database now that you have .env set to point to local.

    $ deno task local db:reset

  7. Run the app locally

    $ deno task start

  8. See that upon logging in at https://localhost:8000 there’s a record of you in your local database
