.. _quickstart:

Quickstart (1-click install)
============================

1. `Download <https://github.com/overhangio/tutor/releases>`_ the latest stable release of Tutor, uncompress the file and place the ``tutor`` executable in your path. From the command line:

.. include:: cli_download.rst

2. Run ``tutor local quickstart``
3. You're done!

**That's it?**

Yes :) This is what happens when you run ``tutor local quickstart``:

1. You answer a few questions about the :ref:`configuration` of your Open edX platform.
2. Configuration files are generated from templates.
3. Docker images are downloaded.
4. Docker containers are provisioned.
5. A full, production-ready platform is run with docker-compose.

The whole procedure should require less than 10 minutes, on a server with a good bandwidth. Note that your host environment will not be affected in any way, since everything runs inside docker containers. Root access is not even necessary.

There's a lot more to Tutor than that! To understand what Tutor does and how it works, take a look at the :ref:`introduction <intro>`.

Add instructions to download the "latest" binaries 2019-02-18 08:42:44 +00:00
Get rid of the "latest" release tag The "latest" tag is a pain to maintain: it's a tag that we delete and re-create at every release. Whenever we delete it, the binaries become unavailable on Github until they are re-generated. Thus, from now on, we conform to good practices (as examplified by the github.com/docker/compose) project and distribute only pinned release. The "nightly" tag remains, for now, as it allows us to distribute beta features. It may disappear in the future. 2019-04-22 11:29:53 +00:00			`.. include:: cli_download.rst`

Better documentation - More concise table of contents - New intro - Simpler make commands - Fix a couple typos here and there - Get rid of the default github issue template, and start using the template created online. 2019-05-13 14:33:26 +00:00
