Moves into the project folder you just downloaded.

2. Docker

Easy Recommended
Prerequisites
  • Git Needed to download the project code from GitHub.
  • Docker Desktop Needed to build and run containers. Install it and keep it running in the background.
⚠️ This is a large repository, so this method may point to an internal sub-package rather than the actual core product. Check the full README as well.
docker compose -f support/image-builders/compose.yaml up -d --build

βœ… Run docker compose ps to check the containers are Up. If the README mentions a port, open http://localhost:PORT in your browser.

3. Node.js

Easy
