Note that, in order to have some consistency, we're always writing
"Consul Democracy", instead of using capital letters sometimes (but not
always), like we did until now.

# Configuration for development and test environments (Debian GNU/Linux 9.8)
## Superuser
Note that 'sudo' is not installed by default in Debian. It's possible to install and configure it, you can find information [here](https://wiki.debian.org/sudo). But we don't recommend it cause you may have other problems. We recommend running the following commands as a superuser, so make sure the very first command you run is:
```
su
```
> For [Vagrant](/en/installation/vagrant.md) run:
> ```
> sudo su -
> ```
## System update
Run a general system update:
```bash
apt-get update
```
## Git
Git is officially maintained in Debian:
```
apt-get install git
```
## Curl
Curl is officially maintained in Debian:
```
apt-get install curl
```
## Ruby version manager
Ruby versions packaged in official repositories are not suitable to work with Consul Democracy, so we'll have to install it manually.
One possible tool is rvm:
### As a local user
```
command curl -sSL https://rvm.io/mpapis.asc | gpg --import -
command curl -sSL https://rvm.io/pkuczynski.asc | gpg --import -
curl -L https://get.rvm.io | bash -s stable
```
then add rvm script source to user's bash (~/.bashrc) (this step is only necessary if you can't execute the rvm command)
```
[[ -s /usr/local/rvm/scripts/rvm ]] && source /usr/local/rvm/scripts/rvm
```
and finally, reload .bashrc to be able to run RVM
```
source ~/.bashrc
```
## Node.js
To compile the assets, you'll need a JavaScript runtime. Node.js is the preferred option. As with Ruby, we don't recommend installing Node from your distro's repositories.
To install it, you can use [n](https://github.com/tj/n)
Run the following command on your terminal:
```
curl -L https://git.io/n-install | bash -s -- -y lts
```
And it will install the latest LTS (Long Term Support) Node version on your `$HOME` folder automatically (This makes use of [n-install](https://github.com/mklement0/n-install))
Reload .bashrc to be able to run node
```
source /root/.bashrc
```
Check it's correctly installed by running:
```
node -v
```
## PostgreSQL (>=9.4)
PostgreSQL version 9.4 is not official in debian 9.
So you have to add a repository, the official postgresql works fine.
Add the repository to apt, for example creating file */etc/apt/sources.list.d/pgdg.list* with:
```
deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security jessie/updates main
```
afterwards you'll have to download the key, and install it, by:
```
wget https://www.postgresql.org/media/keys/ACCC4CF8.asc
apt-key add ACCC4CF8.asc
```
and install postgresql
```
apt-get update
apt-get install postgresql-9.4 postgresql-server-dev-9.4 postgresql-contrib-9.4
```
You also need to configure a user for your database. As an example, we'll choose the username "consul":
```
su - postgres
createuser consul --createdb --superuser --pwprompt
exit
```
## Imagemagick
Install Imagemagick:
```bash
apt-get install imagemagick
```
## ChromeDriver
To run E2E integration tests, we use Selenium along with Headless Chrome.
To get it working, install the chromedriver package:
```bash
apt-get install chromedriver
ln -s /usr/lib/chromedriver /usr/local/bin/
```
Make sure it's working as expected by running the following command:
```bash
chromedriver --version
```
You should receive an output with the latest version of ChromeDriver. If that's the case, you're good to go!
If you are using an Arch-based distro, installing `chromium` from the `extra` repository should be sufficient.
You also have the option of just installing ChromeDriver from AUR. If you use `pacaur`, run the following command:
```bash
pacaur -S chromedriver
```
Now you're ready to go get Consul Democracy [installed](local_installation.md)!!
