The recommended way to set up NexaFi for development is using the provided setup script, which handles dependency installation and environment configuration.
| Requirement | Detail |
|---|---|
| Python | 3.10+ |
| Node.js | 18+ |
| pnpm | Package manager for frontend dependencies. |
| Docker | Docker Engine and Docker Compose for running the microservices infrastructure. |
The setup.sh script automates the installation of system dependencies (Docker) and project dependencies (Python, Node.js).
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/quantsingularity/NexaFi.git
cd NexaFi
# Run the setup script
# This script will install Docker, Python dependencies, and frontend dependencies
./scripts/setup.sh
# Start the entire application using Docker Compose
# This will launch all backend microservices and the database infrastructure
docker-compose -f backend/infrastructure/docker-compose.yml up -d
# Run the web frontend (in a separate terminal)
cd web-frontend
pnpm start- Install Python Dependencies:
for service_dir in backend/*/; do if [ -f "${service_dir}requirements.txt" ]; then echo "Installing dependencies for ${service_dir}..." cd "${service_dir}" python3 -m venv venv source venv/bin/activate pip install -r requirements.txt deactivate cd ../.. fi done
- Start Infrastructure:
cd backend/infrastructure ./start-infrastructure.sh # Or using Docker Compose: docker-compose up -d
- Install pnpm:
npm install -g pnpm
- Install Dependencies and Run:
cd web-frontend pnpm install pnpm run dev
