Setting up a local instance for Mautic development in Fedora

Whether you’re aiming to contribute to the Mautic project, customize its features for your clients, or simply explore its capabilities, setting up a local development environment is a crucial first step.

Guide

Requirements

• Computer with Fedora
• Internet access

Steps

1. Open the Terminal
2. Install the necessary dependencies (Docker and DDEV)
   • sudo dnf -y install dnf-plugins-core && sudo dnf config-manager --add-repo https://download.docker.com/linux/fedora/docker-ce.repo && sudo dnf install -y docker-ce docker-ce-cli containerd.io docker-buildx-plugin docker-compose-plugin && sudo systemctl start docker && sudo docker run hello-world && sudo groupadd docker && sudo usermod -aG docker $USER && newgrp docker && docker run hello-world && sudo sh -c 'echo ""' && echo '[ddev] name=ddev baseurl=https://pkg.ddev.com/yum/ gpgcheck=0 enabled=1' | perl -p -e 's/^ +//' | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/ddev.repo >/dev/null && sudo sh -c 'echo ""' && sudo dnf install --refresh -y ddev && mkcert -install
3. Open GitHub Desktop and clone the Mautic repository into your home folder
4. Open the Mautic folder in your Terminal
   • Start DDEV using ddev config
   • Give a name to the installation or press Enter to use “mautic”
   • Press Enter again at the next prompt
   • When asked for the project type, press Enter
   • Start DDEV with ddev start
5. Access the Mautic installation at https://mautic.ddev.site/ or use the IP (faster)

Remember to have your VS Code configured to use LF line endings.
