Development occurs within a robust vagrant environment. Setup and initialization of this environment, as well as information about the deployed staging and production environments, is contained here. Information about the Rails app can be found [here](/ansible/roles/finding_aid_discovery/files/src/README.md). + +## Development + +> Caveat: The vagrant development environment has only been tested in the local environments our developers currently have. This currently includes Linux, Intel-based Macs and M1 Macs. + +In order to use the integrated development environment you will need to install [Vagrant](https://www.vagrantup.com/docs/installation) [do *not* use the Vagrant version that may be available for your distro repository - explicitly follow instructions at the Vagrant homepage] and the appropriate virtualization software. If you are running Linux or Mac x86 then install [VirtualBox](https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads), if you are using a Mac with ARM processors then install [Parallels](https://www.parallels.com/). + +**Is this still necessary?** +You may need to update the VirtualBox configuration for the creation of a host-only network.

Your hosts file will be modified; the domain `apotheca-dev.library.upenn.edu` will be added and mapped to the Ubuntu VM.

Go to [https://gitlab.library.upenn.edu/dld/apotheca/-/releases/new](https://gitlab.library.upenn.edu/dld/apotheca/-/releases/new) +2. Create a new tag that follows semantic versioning. Please use the next tag in the sequence. +3. Relate a milestone to the release if there is one. +4. Add a release title that is the same as the tag name. +5. Submit by clicking "Create Release". + +The production site is available at [https://apotheca.library.upenn.edu/](https://apotheca.library.upenn.edu/).
