Development

For an optimal developer experience, it is recommended to install Nix and direnv.

Note: These are instructions that SHOULD work in most cases. Consult the links above for the official instructions for your OS.

Install Nix:

sh <(curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install) --daemon

Consult the installation instructions to install direnv using your package manager.

On MacOS:

brew install direnv

Install from binary builds:

curl -sfL https://direnv.net/install.sh | bash

The last step is to configure your shell to use direnv. For example for bash, add the following lines at the end of your ~/.bashrc:

eval "\$(direnv hook bash)"

Then restart the shell.

For other shells, see https://direnv.net/docs/hook.html.

MacOS specific instructions

Nix may stop working after a MacOS upgrade. If it does, follow these instructions.

Run the dependencies:

make up

Run OpenMeter:

make run

Run tests:

make test

Run linters:

make lint

Tools

Run Docker Compose with dev profile to enable UI for Kafka and ClickHouse:

docker compose --profile dev up

If you are seeing ghcr.io denied error, login to ghcr.io using a GitHub personal access token:
