FAQPage Schema

How do I set up a local ForemanOS development environment from scratch?▼

Local environment provisioning for ForemanOS requires checking Node.js v18+, installing dependencies, creating environment variables, generating the Prisma client, and verifying the dev server startup. This ensures a consistent, validated workspace for new contributors.

What do I need to install before starting ForemanOS environment setup?▼

Prerequisites for ForemanOS setup include Node.js v18+ and npm. You also need Prisma tooling and a working database connection to validate the environment and generate the required client for local development.

Why does Prisma client generation fail during Node.js project onboarding?▼

Prisma client generation fails during Node.js onboarding if the Node.js version is below v18 or if the database connection is invalid. Environment validation enforces these requirements before allowing dependency setup to proceed.

Does ForemanOS environment setup validate environment variables automatically?▼

Yes, ForemanOS environment setup validates environment variables automatically. It checks .env file creation to ensure required variables are present before seeding test data and starting the local dev server.

Can I use this setup workflow for existing contributor workstations?▼

Yes, the setup workflow applies to both new contributor onboarding and fresh development workstation configuration. It standardizes environment validation and dependency installation to maintain consistency across all ForemanOS development machines.
