.. _launch:

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

1. Install the latest stable release of Tutor from pip:

.. include:: download/pip.rst

Or `download <https://github.com/overhangio/tutor/releases>`_ the pre-compiled binary and place the ``tutor`` executable in your path:

.. include:: download/binary.rst

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

**That's it?**

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

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 Open edX platform (`Nutmeg <https://edx.readthedocs.io/projects/edx-installing-configuring-and-running/en/open-release-nutmeg.master/platform_releases/nutmeg.html>`__ release) is run with docker-compose.

The whole procedure should require less than 10 minutes, on a server with 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 learn more about what you can do with Tutor and Open edX, check out the :ref:`whatnext` section. If the launch installation method above somehow didn't work for you, check out the :ref:`troubleshooting` guide.
feat: deprecate "quickstart" and rename to "launch" `quickstart` is being renamed to `launch` and deprecated in favor of using `launch`. The `quickstart` function temporarily aliases to `launch`. Further mentions of `quickstart` have been changed to reference `launch` instead. We are indicating that this change is breaking 💥 to encourage people to migrate their scripts right away! 2022-09-30 10:00:24 +00:00			`.. _launch:`

feat: switch the package name from "tutor-openedx" to "tutor" The package maintainer of the "tutor" package was kind enough to transfer ownership of the project to us. This is great, because we no longer have to use the "openedx" suffix, which is trademarked. For the time being, we keep maintaining the "tutor-openedx" package which has a 1-to-1 dependency on the "tutor" package. In the future, we expect that we will no longer push upgrades to tutor-openedx. 2021-06-25 15:03:43 +00:00

v14.0.0: upgrade to Nutmeg - 💥 [Feature] Upgrade to Nutmeg: (by @regisb) - 💥 [Feature] Persistent grades are now enabled by default. - [Bugfix] Remove edX references from bulk emails ([issue](https://github.com/openedx/build-test-release-wg/issues/100)). - [Improvement] For Tutor Nightly (and only Nightly), official plugins are now installed from their nightly branches on GitHub instead of a version range on PyPI. This will allow Nightly users to install all official plugins by running ``pip install -e ".[full]"``. - [Bugfix] Start MongoDB when running migrations, because a new data migration fails if MongoDB is not running 2022-04-11 15:26:17 +00:00			5.
