#Requirements

• Supported Operating Systems: Linux, macOS, and Windows.
• Resources: 4 CPU and 8GB of RAM for your Docker runtime
• Binaries: docker, jq, curl, sed, grep, git
• A stable Internet connection.

#Purpose and Limitations

It's important to note that this local setup of Qovery using the qovery demo up command is designed for demonstration and testing purposes only. It is not intended for production use. Please refer to the official installation guide for deploying Qovery in a production environment.

#Installation Steps

The setup process is quick and takes less than 5 minutes. Here are the steps:

1/ Install the Qovery CLI (check out our documentation for more details on installation options)

$ curl -s https://get.qovery.com | bash

2/ Authenticate via Qovery

$ qovery auth 
or
$ qovery auth --headless # if you don't have any GUI

3/ Install Qovery locally (this operation should take between 1 to 5 minutes)

Ensure you have Docker running and that you have installed jq, curl, sed, grep, and git.

$ qovery demo up

Note that if you are on MacOS or Windows, you might be prompted for your admin password - which is necessary to properly route the traffic from your host to your k3s apps.

""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Qovery demo cluster is now installed !!!!
The kubeconfig is correctly set, so you can connect to it directly with kubectl or k9s from your local machine
To delete/stop/start your cluster, use k3d cluster xxxx

Go to https://console.qovery.com to create your first environment on this cluster 'romaric-local-cluster'

#Running Qovery Anywhere

#The Flexibility of Qovery CLI

One remarkable feature of Qovery is its flexibility. For instance, you can execute the "qovery demo run" command remotely via SSH on any machine, even those without a graphical user interface (GUI).

#Authentication for Non-GUI Access

To use Qovery's CLI remotely, you first need to authenticate securely. The command "qovery auth --headless" is particularly useful for setups when accessing remote servers.

#Practical Example

Let's consider running Qovery on a CIVO cloud instance. Once authenticated, you can deploy applications or manage your Qovery environment directly from the command line, showcasing the adaptability of Qovery for various development and operational scenarios.

#Conclusion

Qovery is designed to offer a high-quality developer experience, allowing developers to focus more on coding and less on the operational overhead. By leveraging Qovery, both on local machines for testing and on remote servers for production deployments, developers can enhance their productivity and streamline their development workflows.
