Clone from git using

$ git clone https://github.com/mozilla/balrog

To run a development environment you must have Docker and docker-compose installed (if you're on Windows or Mac you need "Docker for Windows" or "Docker for Mac" at least v1.12.0)

Once these prerequisites are installed, run the following command to create and run the necessary images:

$ docker-compose up

Once it completes, you should be able to access

• The admin interface at http://127.0.0.1:8080
• The public interface on port 9090

To execute all tests, run :

$ ./run-tests.sh

For executing test only for backend, run :

$ ./run-tests.sh backend

For executing test only for frontend, run :

$ ./run-tests.sh frontend

Tests can also run by using tox :

$ tox
