Create an environmental variable file. An example one is provided:

Read through .envrc and follow any instructions on regenerating secure values.

The Oberon chat server requires the following packages to be installed:

• Elixir >= 1.5
• Postgres >= 9.6

To start the Oberon chat server:

1. Create a .envrc file. Use the example file as a starting point: cp .envrc.example .envrc.

2. (Optional) Update values in .envrc to match the development environment.

3. Start the server bin/start.

4. To ensure client websocket connections work correctly, configure a DNS service to route traffic from localhost:4484 to chat-server.dev. We recommend using puma-dev.
