4. Starting the App and Getting Oriented

Starting the app & getting oriented to the command line

Before we can begin work:

• cd workshop-app-2020

Option 1

Following: https://github.com/geoblacklight/workshop-app/wiki/2.-Prerequisites#option-1

Start Solr and the Rails web server:

• gblstack up

Index the solr documents from the "solr_documents" directory:

• docker exec -it gblstack_web_1 rake geoblacklight:index:directory["solr_documents"]

Option 2

Following: https://github.com/geoblacklight/workshop-app/wiki/2.-Prerequisites#option-2

Start Solr and the Rails web server:

• bundle exec rake geoblacklight:server

Index the solr documents from the "solr_documents" directory:

• bundle exec rake geoblacklight:index:directory["solr_documents"]

You are effectively starting a version of Solr, indexing it with some sample documents, and then starting a local Rails server. This should take a minute or two to complete, but once it does, visit http://localhost:3000 in a new browser tab. You should see a working GeoBlacklight.
