|
=== Get the code
|
|
|
|
https://help.github.com/en/github/getting-started-with-github/fork-a-repo[Fork], then https://help.github.com/en/github/getting-started-with-github/fork-a-repo#step-2-create-a-local-clone-of-your-fork[clone] the {kib-repo}[{kib} repo] and change directory into it:
|
|
|
|
[source,bash]
|
|
----

|
[discrete]
|
|
=== Install dependencies
|
|
|
|
Install the version of Node.js listed in the `.node-version` file. This
|
|
can be automated with tools such as
|
|
https://github.com/creationix/nvm[nvm],
|
|
https://github.com/coreybutler/nvm-windows[nvm-windows] or
|
|
https://github.com/wbyoung/avn[avn]. As we also include a `.nvmrc` file
|
|
you can switch to the correct version when using nvm by running:
|
|
|
|
[source,bash]
|
|
----
|
|
nvm use
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
Install the latest version of https://yarnpkg.com[yarn].
|
|
|
|
Bootstrap {kib} and install all the dependencies:
|
|
|
|
[source,bash]
|
|
----
|
|
yarn kbn bootstrap
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
____
|
|
Node.js native modules could be in use and node-gyp is the tool used to
|
|
build them. There are tools you need to install per platform and python
|
|
versions you need to be using. Please see
|
|
https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp#installation[https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp#installation]
|
|
and follow the guide according your platform.
|
|
____
|
|
|
|
(You can also run `yarn kbn` to see the other available commands. For
|
|
more info about this tool, see
|
|
{kib-repo}tree/{branch}/packages/kbn-pm[{kib-repo}tree/{branch}packages/kbn-pm].)
|
|
|
|
When switching branches which use different versions of npm packages you
|
|
may need to run:
|
|
|
|
[source,bash]
|
|
----
|
|
yarn kbn clean
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
If you have failures during `yarn kbn bootstrap` you may have some
|
|
corrupted packages in your yarn cache which you can clean with:
|
|
|
|
[source,bash]
|
|
----
|
|
yarn cache clean
|
|

|
|
[discrete]
|
|
==== Increase node.js heap size
|
|
|
|
{kib} is a big project and for some commands it can happen that the
|
|
process hits the default heap limit and crashes with an out-of-memory
|
|
error. If you run into this problem, you can increase maximum heap size
|
|
by setting the `--max_old_space_size` option on the command line. To set
|
|
the limit for all commands, simply add the following line to your shell
|
|
config: `export NODE_OPTIONS="--max_old_space_size=2048"`.
|
|
|
|

|
|
=== Run {es}
|
|
|
|
Run the latest {es} snapshot. Specify an optional license with the `--license` flag.
|
|
|
|
[source,bash]
|
|
----
|
|
yarn es snapshot --license trial
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
`trial` will give you access to all capabilities.
|
|

|
|
preserving data inbetween runs, running remote cluster, etc.

|
|
=== Run {kib}
|
|
|
|
In another terminal window, start up {kib}. Include developer examples by adding an optional `--run-examples` flag.
|
|
|
|
[source,bash]
|
|
----
|
|
yarn start --run-examples
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
View all available options by running `yarn start --help`

|
=== Code away!
|
|
|
|
You are now ready to start developing. Changes to your files should be picked up automatically. Server side changes will
|
|
cause the {kib} server to reboot.
