Optionally, you can use a virtual development environment that relies on Vagrant and Virtual Box by following the virtual machine instructions.
Internationalization (i18n)
The Fab-manager application can only run in a single language but this language can easily be changed.
Please refer to the translation readme for instructions about configuring the language or to contribute to the translation.
Open Projects
This configuration is optional.
You can configure your Fab-manager to synchronize every project with the Open Projects platform. It's very simple and straightforward and in return, your users will be able to search over projects from all Fab-manager instances from within your platform. The deal is fair, you share your projects and as reward you benefits from projects of the whole community.

- send a mail to contact@fab-manager.com asking for your Open Projects client's credentials and giving them the name of your Fab-manager, they will give you an
OPENLAB_APP_IDand anOPENLAB_APP_SECRET - fill in the value of the keys in your environment file
- start your Fab-manager app
- export your projects to open-projects (if you already have projects created on your Fab-manager, unless you can skip that part) executing this command:
bundle exec rake fablab:openlab:bulk_export
IMPORTANT: please run your server in production mode.
Go to your projects gallery and enjoy seeing your projects available from everywhere ! That's all.
