• Clone the forked repository and add main source code repository as upstream

      git clone {SSH URL of FORKED REPOSITORY}
      cd {PROJECT-FOLDER}
      git remote add upstream [email protected]:Sunbird-Ed/creation-portal.git
      git fetch upstream
      git checkout -b {LOCAL-BRANCH-NAME} upstream/{LATEST BRANCH}

2. Add the following environment variables - Required for downloading editors (Via gulp task)

       export sunbird_content_editor_artifact_url="https://sunbirddev.blob.core.windows.net/sunbird-content-dev/artefacts/editor/content-editor-iframe-2.6.0.zip"
   
       export sunbird_collection_editor_artifact_url="https://sunbirddev.blob.core.windows.net/sunbird-content-dev/artefacts/editor/collection-editor-iframe-2.6.0.zip"
   
       export sunbird_generic_editor_artifact_url="https://sunbirddev.blob.core.windows.net/sunbird-content-dev/artefacts/editor/generic-editor-iframe-2.6.0.zip"

3. Install required dependencies

   1. Sunbird portal or web application

      1. $ cd {PROJECT-FOLDER}/src/app/client
      2. $ npm install

   2. Sunbird services stack or the backend API interface

      1. $ gulp download:editors
      2. $ cd {PROJECT-FOLDER}/src/app
      3. $ npm install

4. Configuring the Environment and Services Stack

   Configure the following system environment variables in the terminal which you have opened

      | Environment Variable      |  Value  | Data Type |
      | :------------------------ | ------- | --------- |
      |  sunbird_environment      | local   |   string  |
      |  sunbird_instance         | sunbird |   string  |
      |  sunbird_default_channel  | sunbird |   string  |
      |  sunbird_default_tenant   | sunbird |   string  |
   

   The initialization of these environmental variables can take place in a common place like in your .bashrc or .bash_profile

5. Edit the Application Configuration

   Open <PROJECT-FOLDER>/src/app/helpers/environmentVariablesHelper.js in any available text editor and update the contents of the file so that it contains exactly the following values

     module.exports = {
       // Application Start-up - Hosts and PORT Configuration
       ...
       LEARNER_URL: env.sunbird_learner_player_url || <'https://<host for adopter's instance>',
       CONTENT_URL: env.sunbird_content_player_url || <'https://<host for adopter's instance>',
       CONTENT_PROXY_URL: env.sunbird_content_proxy_url || <'https://<host for adopter's instance>',
       PORTAL_AUTH_SERVER_URL: env.sunbird_portal_auth_server_url || <'https://<host for adopter's instance>',
       PORTAL_ECHO_API_URL: env.sunbird_echo_api_url || '',
       ...
       PORTAL_API_AUTH_TOKEN: env.dock_api_auth_token || <User generated API auth token>,
       SUNBIRD_PORTAL_API_AUTH_TOKEN: env.sunbird_api_auth_token || <User generated Sunbird API auth token>,
       ...
       LOCAL_DEVELOPMENT: env.local_development || true,
   
     }

   Once the file is updated with appropriate values, then you can proceed with running the application
