Minimum system requirements for developers? #2984
-
I'm a new volunteer coder, but I'm having trouble setting up my development environment. I think the problem is likely that I have an older computer, which can't run the latest version of Docker (I'm running Version 18.06.1-ce-mac73). So I'm trying to decide if this is a fixable problem, or if I just need to buy a new computer. Is there a list anywhere of the minimum versions of the software necessary to get the development environment working? Or does anyone have experience installing the development environment on an older Mac (I'm running macOS Mojave, 10.14.6) who can tell me if it's doable or not? Thanks. |

I got it (mostly) working! After some research, I discovered that the latest version of Docker that will run on macOS Mojave (10.14) is 4.11, and is available to download from here: Unfortunately, now I have a new problem. Both http://127.0.0.1:8000/ and http://127.0.0.1:8983/solr appear to work fine, but http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin gives me an error. |

One last note for anyone who finds this thread in the future. Here are the latest versions of Docker that can be used with various versions of macOS. All the versions listed here support the Court Listener development environment. macOS 10.14 and earlier — use Docker version 4.11.1 from https://docs.docker.com/desktop/release-notes/ |
