This is the Ruby version CONSUL uses now. Thanks to that, we no longer need to install an old version of libssl-dev for Ubuntu 18.04. We could probably simplify the documentation using: ```bash rbenv install `cat .ruby_version` ``` However, this would require downloading consul before installing Ruby, which could be harder to document.

Configuration for development and test environments (Ubuntu 18.04)
System update
Run a general system update:
sudo apt update
Git
Git is officially maintained in Ubuntu:
sudo apt install git
Ruby
Ruby versions packaged in official repositories are not suitable to work with CONSUL, so we'll have to install it manually.
First, we need to install Ruby's development dependencies:
sudo apt install libssl-dev autoconf bison build-essential libyaml-dev libreadline6-dev zlib1g-dev libncurses5-dev libffi-dev libgdbm5 libgdbm-dev
The next step is installing a Ruby version manager, like rbenv:
wget -q https://github.com/rbenv/rbenv-installer/raw/master/bin/rbenv-installer -O- | bash
echo 'export PATH="$HOME/.rbenv/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'eval "$(rbenv init -)"' >> ~/.bashrc
source ~/.bashrc
Finally, install Ruby 2.4.9, which will take a few minutes:
rbenv install 2.4.9
Bundler
Check we're using the Ruby version we've just installed:
rbenv global 2.4.9
ruby -v
=> ruby 2.4.9p354
And install Bundler with:
gem install bundler
Node.js
To compile the assets, you'll need a JavaScript runtime. Node.js is the preferred option.
Run the following command on your terminal:
sudo apt install nodejs
PostgreSQL
Install postgresql and its development dependencies with:
sudo apt install postgresql libpq-dev
You also need to configure a user for your database. As an example, we'll choose the username "consul":
sudo -u postgres createuser consul --createdb --superuser --pwprompt
To make sure the UTF-8 enconding is used, create a file:
sudo nano /etc/profile.d/lang.sh
Add the following:
export LANGUAGE="en_US.UTF-8"
export LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"
Reconfigure Postgres to use the UTF-8 encoding:
sudo su - postgres
psql
update pg_database set datistemplate=false where datname='template1';
drop database Template1;
create database template1 with owner=postgres encoding='UTF-8'
lc_collate='en_US.utf8' lc_ctype='en_US.utf8' template template0;
update pg_database set datistemplate=true where datname='template1';
\q
exit
Imagemagick
Install Imagemagick:
sudo apt install imagemagick
ChromeDriver
To run E2E integration tests, we use Selenium along with Headless Chrome.
To get it working, install the chromium-chromedriver package and make sure it's available on your shell's PATH:
sudo apt install chromium-chromedriver
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromedriver /usr/local/bin/
Now you're ready to go get CONSUL installed!
