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.yml wget -q --show-progress https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Alethio/memento/master/config-sample.yml ``` At the end of this step, your directory should look like follows: ```bash ~/memento ❯ tree . ├── config-sample.yml └── docker-compose.yml 0 directories, 2 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 ``` ### 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 # you can use any other text editor here vim .volumes/memento/config.yml ``` ### Start everything ``` docker-compose up -d ``` ### Open the dashboard to check progress ``` http://localhost:3000 ```
