### Prerequisites
-First, make sure that you have followed
+First, you should use a server or PC with at least 4GB of RAM. Less RAM may lead to crashes.
+
+Make sure that you have followed
[the steps](/support/doc/dependencies.md)
to install the dependencies.
$ yarn install --pure-lockfile
```
+Note that development is done on the `develop` branch. If you want to hack on
+Peertube, you should switch to that branch. Also note that you have to repeat
+the `yarn install --pure-lockfile` command.
+
Then, create a postgres database and user with the values set in the
`config/default.yaml` file. For instance, if you do not change the values
there, the following commands would create a new database called `peertube_dev`
# sudo -u postgres createdb -O peertube peertube_dev
```
+Then enable extensions PeerTube needs:
+
+```
+$ sudo -u postgres psql -c "CREATE EXTENSION pg_trgm;" peertube_dev
+$ sudo -u postgres psql -c "CREATE EXTENSION unaccent;" peertube_dev
+```
+
In dev mode, administrator username is **root** and password is **test**.
### Server side
Then you will get access to the three nodes at `http://localhost:900{1,2,3}`
with the `root` as username and `test{1,2,3}` for the password.
+Instance configurations are in `config/test-{1,2,3}.yaml`.
### Unit tests
Create a PostgreSQL user **with the same name as your username** in order to avoid using the *postgres* user.
+
Then, we can create the databases (if they don't already exist):
```
-$ sudo -u postgres createuser you_username --createdb
-$ createdb -O peertube peertube_test{1,2,3}
+$ sudo -u postgres createuser you_username --createdb --superuser
+$ createdb -O peertube peertube_test{1,2,3,4,5,6}
```
Build the application and run the unit/integration tests:
```
$ npm run mocha -- --exit --require ts-node/register/type-check --bail server/tests/api/index.ts
```
+
+Instance configurations are in `config/test-{1,2,3,4,5,6}.yaml`.
+Note that only instance 2 has transcoding enabled.
