Prerequisites

To run Claper on your local environment you need to have:

  • Postgres >= 9
  • Elixir >= 1.13.2
  • Erlang >= 24
  • NPM >= 6.14.17
  • NodeJS >= 14.19.2
  • Ghostscript >= 9.5.0 (for PDF support)
  • Libreoffice >= 6.4 (for PPT/PPTX support)

You can also use Docker to easily run a Postgres instance:

  docker run -p 5432:5432 -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=claper -e POSTGRES_USER=claper -e POSTGRES_DB=claper --name claper-db -d postgres:9
  1. Clone the repo
       git clone https://github.com/ClaperCo/Claper.git
    
  2. Install dependencies
       mix deps.get
    
  3. Migrate your database
       mix ecto.migrate
    
  4. Install JS dependencies
       cd assets && npm i
    
  5. Allow execution of startup file
       chmod +x ./start.sh
    
  6. Start Phoenix endpoint with
       ./start.sh
    

Now you can visit localhost:4000 from your browser.

If you have configured MAIL to local, you can access to the mailbox at localhost:4000/dev/mailbox.

using-docker-compose

Using Docker Compose

A Docker Compose reference file is provided in the repository. You can use it to run Claper with Docker Compose.

git clone https://github.com/ClaperCo/Claper.git
cd Claper
docker-compose up

arm-architecture

ARM architecture

If you are using an ARM architecture (like Apple M1), the original Docker image won't work. You can build the image yourself by replacing the BUILDER_IMAGE argument in the Dockerfile with ARG BUILDER_IMAGE="hexpm/elixir-arm64:1.13.2-erlang-24.2.1-debian-bullseye-20210902-slim" and then build the image as described above.
