Could you be more descriptive about what exactly didn't work?

Hi Siddarth I am unable to set-up the backend on my system is it possible if we could connect so that you can help me for the same

I am not the original Author of the codebase. If you can describe what is the error you are running into then I can try to look into it and help you, if not me someone else would. People prefer well descriptive descriptions including

1. What were the issues you ran into
2. What exactly did you do
3. how can we reproduce the error would help.

Hi Siddarth,

What were the issues you ran into: While running make command in the backend, it showed an error that the command doesn't exist. We downloaded the equivalent version for make command in windows and try but it is giving a different error. Attaching the screenshot of the same. What exactly did you do: We downloaded the code from github into our local windows machine. We've extracted the folder and tried running the commands in readme file in backend and frontend folders. We haven't made use of Docker containers. We simply ran it on our local windows machine. What are the steps to follow in this way? how can we reproduce the error: By running the make run command.

We would like to run this setup in a local "Windows" machine. Is it possible to run it without Docker? If with Docker, could you help us with the basic steps so that we can proceed. We're new to this.

1. Download docker on your machine and set it up properly by following this 👇 https://docs.docker.com/desktop/install/windows-install/#install-docker-desktop-on-windows
2. navigate to the location where you downloaded sec-insights
3. open terminal in that location
4. navigate to the backend folder
5. use the command docker-compose up

PS 1: Using docker should take care of the environment. PS 2: You forgot to attach the image.

Hi Siddarth, As per the above mentioned steps shared by you, I tried running docker-compose up command, at the end I got an exception saying Database is not up to date and asked to run this command "poetry run alembic upgrade head", but when I tried running this, I got an error saying poetry is not recognized as a command though I installed poetry several times.

Follow this thread. Read through it thoroughly and don't blindly copy paste the commands. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/70003829/poetry-installed-but-poetry-command-not-found

Google well before asking for help.

Hi Siddarth, Even after giving all the key values in .env file we are getting the error that the values are missing. Please refer the image for reference.

[siddarthreddygsr]

.env file

Can you check if you set the values in .env.development or .env

[ShivangPandey2909]

Hi Siddarth, It is .env

[siddarthreddygsr]

Did u also run

set -a
source .env

?

Try running echo $S3_BUCKET_NAME to check if the values are set in the environment it shouldn't return a blank value but the value you set in your .env file.

[siddarthreddygsr]

Did it work ?

[ShivangPandey2909]

Hi Siddarth, Even after running the set and source command we are getting the same error of value missing.

[ShivangPandey2909]
