# Step by step instructions:

## One command installation

Install the project with the command below. By default, it installs the latest version from the main branch.
```bash
bash <(curl -sL https://git.new/20)
```

## Custom Installation:

Set VERSION for a specific docker image version, BRANCH for a specific clone branch:
```bash
VERSION=x.y.z BRANCH=branch-name bash <(curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/twentyhq/twenty/main/install.sh)
```

## Manual installation

1. Copy the [.env.example](https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/blob/main/packages/twenty-docker/prod/.env.example) into a `.env` in the same directory where your `docker-compose.yml` file will be
2. Run the command `openssl rand -base64 32` three times, make note of the string for each
3. In your .env file, replace the three "replace_me_with_a_random_string_access" with the three random strings you just generated.

```
ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET=replace_me_with_a_random_string_access
LOGIN_TOKEN_SECRET=replace_me_with_a_random_string_login
REFRESH_TOKEN_SECRET=replace_me_with_a_random_string_refresh
FILE_TOKEN_SECRET=replace_me_with_a_random_string_refresh
```

4. Copy the [docker-compose.yml](https://github.com/twentyhq/twenty/blob/main/packages/twenty-docker/prod/docker-compose.yml) in the same directory as your `.env` file.
5. Run the command `docker-compose up -d`
6. Go to http://localhost:3000 and see your docker instance.

## Troubleshooting

### Not able to login

If you encounter errors, (not able to log into the application after inputting an email) after the inital setup, try running the following commands and see if that solves your issue.
```
docker exec -it twenty-server-1 yarn
docker exec -it twenty-server-1 yarn nx database:reset
```

### Cannot connect to server, running behind a reverse proxy

Complete step three and four with:

3. Update `SERVER_URL=https://<your-api-url.com>` in your `.env`

### Persistence

By default the docker-compose will create volumes for the Database and local storage of the Server. Note that the containers will not persist data if your server is not configured to be stateful (for example Heroku). You probably want to configure a special stateful resource for this purpose.
