Initial Developer Setup

Prerequisites

Have Docker installed.

Clone the repository to your development environment

Follow these instructions to get a local version of this repository.

Set up Dev Environment

Most commands run from the hp CLI (ie: ./hp [command]), will automatically download dependencies lazily, on an as-needed basis, installing everything into a local, .gitignored devEnvironment folder within the repo directory.

You may optionally, proactively install these items up front by running:

./hp devEnviromentSetup

Globally Installed Dev Dependencies

While our automation attempts to isolate all software installed for development purposes to the devEnvironment folder, there are a few dependencies which are installed globally:

• virtualbox
• yarn
• nvm

Please be aware that scripts may attempt to install these applications in non-isolated places.

Visual Studio Code Plugins

The following plugins may be useful:

• Code Coverage Highlighter
• BashIDE VS Code Extension
• sourcegraph browser extension
