Open-Source Roam. For more background, please read the Athens FAQ on my public Roam.
Please refer to CONTRIBUTING.md and CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md.
You will need:
- a
javasdk: I'm using openjdk 11.0.2 lein: Clojure's main package manager (lein installs the correct version of Clojure for you)yarnornpm: I'm using yarn
Because yarn and lein are straightforward, and the only system dependency needed is java, I don't think docker is critical for local development.
Once your OS recognizes your java sdk, you have lein and yarn, simply clone the repo, run lein dev, yarn, and go to localhost:3000.
See Athens vs Roam Tech Stack for more background.
