   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io
   

2. Install golang

   sudo apt-get update
   sudo apt-get install golang
   # set the gopath manually for the rest of the setup
   export GOPATH=${HOME}/go
   

3. Install migrate

   # this assumes you have ${GOPATH}/bin in your ${PATH}
   go get -u -d github.com/mattes/migrate/cli github.com/lib/pq
   go build -tags 'postgres' -o ${GOPATH}/bin/migrate github.com/mattes/migrate/cli
   
   

4. Clone repo and configure the settings

   mkdir -p ${GOPATH}/src/git.minhas.io/asara
   cd ${GOPATH}/src/git.minhas.io/asara
   git clone https://git.minhas.io/asara/sudoscientist-go-backend
   # iterate through the environment files in the settings directory and set them appropriately
   # make sure the extension is .env (db.env, secrets.env, website.env... etc.)
   

5. Configure docker postgres for testing

   # make sure your user is in the docker group
   sudo usermod -aG docker $(whoami)
   
   # make sure you have some postgres client installed
   sudo apt-get install postgres-client
   docker pull postgres
   docker run -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=${DB_ADMIN_PW} --name sudosci-db -d postgres
   
   # Initalize the postgres DB
   cd ${GOPATH}/src/git.minhas.io/asara/sudoscientist
   for i in settings/*; do source $i; done
   export DB_HOST=$(docker inspect -f "{{ .NetworkSettings.IPAddress }}" sudosci-db)
   psql -d postgres -U postgres -h ${DB_HOST} << EOF
   CREATE DATABASE ${DB_NAME};
   CREATE USER ${DB_USER} WITH ENCRYPTED PASSWORD '${DB_PW}';
   GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE ${DB_NAME} TO ${DB_USER};
   ALTER DATABASE ${DB_NAME} OWNER TO ${DB_USER};
   EOF

   export DB_HOST=$(docker inspect -f "{{ .NetworkSettings.IPAddress }}" sudosci-db)
   PSQL_QUERY_STRING="postgres://${DB_USER}:${DB_PW}@${DB_HOST}:${DB_PORT}/${DB_NAME}?sslmode=${DB_SSL}"
   migrate -path migrations/ -database ${PSQL_QUERY_STRING} up
