To set up a test environment to run the code examples, proceed as follows:

1. Install Docker
   • If you are running Windows, start here: https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-windows/install/.
   • If you are on a Mac, start here: https://docs.docker.com/docker-for-mac/install/.
   • If you are on Linux, have a look here: https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/.
2. Install Docker Compose. For all operating systems, start here: https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/.
3. Install the source code associated with this book onto your local computer.
   • If you have installed git, use the following command:

git clone https://github.com/phpcl/core_cert_php8_tech.git /path/to/repo

* Otherwise, you can simply download and unzip from this URL: [https://github.com/phpcl/core_cert_php8_tech/archive/main.zip](https://github.com/phpcl/core_cert_php8_tech/archive/main.zip)
* And then unzip into a folder you create which we refer to as `/path/to/repo` in this guide.

4. Build docker container associated with this book online:
   • From your local computer, open a command prompt (terminal window).
   • Change directory to /path/to/repo.
   • First time only, issue this command to build the environment:
     • If you are running Windows: init.bat build
     • If you are running Linux or Mac: init.sh build
   • Please note that the initial build might take up to 15 minutes to complete!
5. Once the container has been built, issue this command the bring the container online:
   • From your local computer, open a command prompt (terminal window).
   • Change directory to /path/to/repo.
   • Bring the docker container online in background mode:
     • If you are running Windows: init.bat up
     • If you are running Linux or Mac: init.sh up
6. To access the running docker container web server:
   • Open the browser on your local computer
   • Enter this URL: http://localhost:8888
7. To open a command shell into the running docker container:
   • From your local computer, open a command prompt (terminal window).
     • If you are running Windows: init.bat shell
     • If you are running Linux or Mac: init.sh shell
8. When you are finished working with the container, bring it offline using the following commands:
   • From your local computer, open a command prompt (terminal window).
     • If you are running Windows: init.bat down
     • If you are running Linux or Mac: init.sh down
