# df
To first run the application in your local environment you can use
```
# to (re-)build the app image including migration
make backend_build
# to run the db and the app as docker containers
make backend
```
or run those commands, listed in ```Makefile```, ***manually*** with your terminal in the repository root directory.
# Prerequisites
To create a local development environment you need some tools.
## Backend
### Basics
You need the basics if you just want to start a test environment to test the application.
#### Optional but recommended
If you wish to use the `Makefile` you need [`make`](https://www.gnu.org/software/make/) which should be available for most linux systems.
However if you are on *Windows* you could use [`GnuWin32.Make`](https://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/install.html) which can be installed on *Windows 11* using:
```
winget install GnuWin32.Make
```
#### Database
To work with the database you need the following tools.
##### Container software
You can use either `docker` or `podman`. But the `Makefile` uses the `docker` command.
If you wish to use `podman` you can create a `symlink` to make it work.
On `fedora` it works like this:
```
# Rename the docker binary:
sudo mv /usr/bin/docker /usr/bin/docker_bkp
# Create a symlink
sudo ln -s /usr/bin/podman /usr/bin/docker
```
##### golang-migrate
`golang-migrate` makes db schema initialization and updates easy.
You can install it as described [here](https://github.com/golang-migrate/migrate/tree/master/cmd/migrate).
Furthermore the binary should be in your `PATH` environment variable.
#### Server
To run the server you need `go` installed. [See here for instructions](https://go.dev/doc/install)
### Developing
Should you want to make changes you need further tools.
- [sqlc](https://docs.sqlc.dev/en/stable/overview/install.html): For generating code from `postgres` queries
- [gomock](https://github.com/uber-go/mock): For generating a mock database for testing
