# Setup

## Setting up Ionic framework

Remède uses Ionic. You will install npm dependencies and requirements to start developing with Ionic. 

1. Make sure you have **node 18** installed.
2. Move to the `app/` folder
3. Install dependencies

```shell
npm install
```

4. Install Ionic

```shell
npm install -g @ionic/cli
```

## Setting up mobile development - Android

Ionic framework let us build Remède for native platforms with Capacitor. {: .fs-3 .fw-300 }

Developing for Android does not need special requirements. Just install npm dependencies.

See [Capacitor documentation](https://capacitorjs.com/docs/android) for more information.

{% hint style="success" %}
Make sure you have Android Studio installed.
{% endhint %}

## Setting up mobile development - iOS

Ionic Framework let us build Remède for iOS.

We do not build Remède for iOs yet. Follow the [official Ionic documentation](https://ionicframework.com/docs/developing/ios).

{% hint style="warning" %}
Remède has not been tested yet on iOS ! Build and use it at your own risks...
{% endhint %}

## Setting up API development

Remède has a public API written with FastAPI. {: .fs-3 .fw-300 }

1. Make sure you have **Python 3** installed.
2. Install dependencies

```shell
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

3. [Fetch database](#fetch-database) so the API can serve it

## Fetch database

Remède latest database is not served by git because it is too large... We host our database on our own servers.

To fetch the latest database, you can use `curl` or `wget` as you prefer...

{% hint style="warning" %}
Execute these commands at project root.
{% endhint %}

* With `curl`

```shell
curl -o data/remede.db https://api-remede.camarm.fr/download?variant=remede
```

* With `wget`

```shell
wget -O data/remede.db https://api-remede.camarm.fr/download?variant=remede
```

{% hint style="info" %}
Remède used to store its databases on **Github LFS servers** but our quota has been exceeded... The databases which are still stored in git lfs are **outdated**.
{% endhint %}

## Git submodules

Remède includes external projects to its codebase using git submodules... {: .fs-3 .fw-300 }

To fetch or update the git submodules, just pull the distant repository inside the submodule's directory:

For example :

```shell
cd api-definition && git pull origin main
```

{% hint style="info" %}
If you are pulling the submodules for the **first time**, you must execute
{% endhint %}

```shell
git submodule update --init --recursive
```

**Lists of submodules :**

* `/api-definition`: [api-definition](https://github.com/LabseSoftware/api-definition)
