# Local installation
Before installing Consul Democracy and having it up and running make sure you all [prerequisites](prerequisites.md) installed.
1. First, clone the [Consul Democracy Github repository](https://github.com/consuldemocracy/consuldemocracy/) and enter the project folder:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/consuldemocracy/consuldemocracy.git
cd consuldemocracy
```
2. Install the Ruby version we need with your Ruby version manager. Here are some examples:
```bash
rvm install `cat .ruby-version` # If you're using RVM
rbenv install `cat .ruby-version` # If you're using rbenv
asdf install ruby `cat .ruby-version` # If you're using asdf
```
3. Check we're using the Ruby version we've just installed:
```bash
ruby -v
=> # (it should be the same as the version in the .ruby-version file)
```
4. Install the Node.js version we need with your Node.js version manager. If you're using NVM:
```bash
nvm install `cat .node-version`
nvm use `cat .node-version`
```
5. Copy the example database configuration file:
```bash
cp config/database.yml.example config/database.yml
```
6. Setup database credentials with your `consul` user in your new `database.yml` file
```bash
nano config/database.yml
```
And edit the lines containing `username:` and `password:`, adding your credentials.
7. Install the project dependencies and create the database:
```bash
bin/setup
```
8. Run the following [Rake task](https://github.com/ruby/rake) to fill your local database with development data:
```bash
bin/rake db:dev_seed
```
9. Check everything is fine by running the test suite (beware it might take more than an hour):
```bash
bin/rspec
```
10. Now you have all set, run the application:
```bash
bin/rails s
```
Congratulations! Your local Consul Democracy application will be running now at `http://localhost:3000`.
In case you want to access the local application as admin, a default user verified and with admin permissions was created by the seed files with **username** `admin@consul.dev` and **password** `12345678`.
If you need an specific user to perform actions such as voting without admin permissions, a default verified user is also available with **username** `verified@consul.dev` and **password** `12345678`.
