Set up your laptop
Goal: Your development environment is ready - editor, terminal, languages, and tools installed.
Time: ~30 minutes.
Step 1: Review the setup script
Before running anything, read what the script does:
bash
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/stratorys/onboarding/main/setup.sh | lessThe script installs: Git, Rust (via rustup), Node.js, Docker, and common CLI tools. On macOS it uses Homebrew, on Linux it uses your system package manager. It configures Git defaults and generates an SSH key.
Step 2: Run the setup
bash
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/stratorys/onboarding/main/setup.sh | bashFollow the prompts. The script will ask for your name and email for Git configuration.
Step 3: Verify the install
Run each command and confirm it returns a version number:
bash
git --versionbash
rustc --versionbash
cargo --versionbash
node --versionbash
docker --versionStep 4: Set up your editor
