# Bundled with Lite Explorer

We've included a [docker-compose](https://github.com/Alethio/memento/blob/master/docker-compose-explorer.yml) that packages a full working environment with Memento and the [Ethereum Lite Explorer by Alethio](https://github.com/Alethio/ethereum-lite-explorer).

## Step-by-step guide

### Prerequisites

* [docker-compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/)
* wget

### Set up the environment

Start by creating a folder on your machine to host all the memento-related files. This can be placed anywhere. 

Just keep in mind that it requires some disk space as it will also host the volume for the database.

```bash
mkdir memento
cd memento
```

The next step is to download the config and  docker-compose file from github. You can do that manually or using the following commands:

```bash
wget -q --show-progress https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Alethio/memento/master/docker-compose-explorer.yml
wget -q --show-progress https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Alethio/memento/master/config-sample.yml
wget -q --show-progress https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Alethio/memento/master/lite-explorer.config.json
```

At the end of this step, your directory should look like follows:

```bash
~/memento ❯ tree
.
├── config-sample.yml
├── docker-compose-explorer.yml
└── lite-explorer.config.json

0 directories, 3 files
```

Next step is to create a folder that our docker-compose will mount as a volume for the memento container. We'll use this to host Memento's configuration file.

```
mkdir -p .volumes/memento
mkdir -p .volumes/lite-explorer
```

### Copy the config and edit it as needed. 

By default, the values for postgres and redis are correct for using with docker compose.

```
mv config-sample.yml .volumes/memento/config.yml
mv lite-explorer.config.json .volumes/lite-explorer/config.json

# you can use any other text editor here
vim .volumes/memento/config.yml
```

### Start everything

```
docker-compose -f docker-compose-explorer.yml up -d
```

### Open the dashboard to check indexing progress

```
http://localhost:3000
```

### Open the Lite Explorer and start exploring 

```
http://localhost:80
```
