Setting up the test environment

The test environment uses a multi-node Docker application. Here’s how to set it up.

1. Install Docker and make sure it’s running.
   • If you’re using Mac OS, then make sure to include docker in your PATH. This is typically found in /Applications/Docker.app/Contents/Resources/bin.
2. Install docker-compose. If you’re using Mac OS, then it should already be included with Docker.

3. Run the following commands in your terminal

    curl -O https://puppetlabs.github.io/wash/tutorials/00_test_environment/test_environment.tgz
   

    tar -xvzf test_environment.tgz
   

    docker-compose -f wash_tutorial/docker-compose.yml up -d --build
   

If everything worked, then you should see the wash_tutorial_redis_1 and wash_tutorial_web_1 containers when you run docker ps. You can run docker-compose -f wash_tutorial/docker-compose.yml down to bring down the test environment.
