⚙️ Installation Process

Step 1: Clone the Repository

Clone the PeerPrep repository to your local machine. Replace <repository-name> with your preferred project folder name.

Step 2: Install Docker

Make sure Docker Desktop is installed on your device. If you don’t have it yet, you can download it from here.

---

Step 3: Set Up Environment Variables

Before starting the services, create an environment file (.env) in the root directory of your project. This file will hold all the necessary configuration settings for each service.

• Tip: Copy the contents of the Appendix section 11.1 in the Project Report and paste it into the .env file.

---

Step 4: Build and Start the Services

From the root directory, use Docker Compose to build and start the containers. This will set up all required services and supporting components.

Make sure that Docker Daemon is running (start Docker Desktop).

docker-compose up --build

You should see logs from each service indicating they are starting up correctly.
