Hello,
I have struggled to get the project to build and to figure out where to get a
local developent environment started. I’ve started in the standard location one
would start [1]. From there, I’m quickly pointed to [2]. From here I get the
impression that I’m to run a local instance of MariaDB, and then run the gradle
commands:
./gradlew createDB -PdbName=fineract_tenants
./gradlew createDB -PdbName=fineract_default
./gradlew bootRun
however these seem to result in build failures. I’m using java-17 locally on my
mac (the amazon corretto model). My gradle --version prints out the following:
chtompki@Robs-MacBook-Pro-2 ~ % gradle --version

The difficulty to get started here is a bit frustrating - it’s quite hard to
find the ins and outs of the project and get going. I am really hoping to spend
a bit of my time polishing this up and the surrounding documentation (where’s
that stored? the wiki?). Streamlining this process will allow us to get a
larger number of contributors which is a priority, in my opinion.
Thoughts, questions, concerns?
Cheers,
-Rob
