# Medusa Starter Default

This repo provides the skeleton to get you started with using Medusa. Follow the steps below to get ready.

## Prerequisites
- Have Postgresql installed and ensure it is running and initialized.
    - `$ brew install postgresql`
    - `$ brew services start postgresql`
    - `$ createdb`

- Install Redis and ensure that it is running.
    - `$ brew install redis`
    - `$ brew services start redis`

- Have Yarn and related packages installed globally:
    - Install yarn if needed `$ brew install yarn` 
    - Install packages `$ yarn global add npm @babel/core`


## Running Medusa
- Rename `.env.template` to `.env`: `$ mv .env.template .env`
- Setup a Stripe account and add your API key and webhook secret to your `.env`
- Setup a Sendgrid account and add your API key to your `.env`
- Install all dependencies `$ yarn`
- Create a local postgres database using `$ psql -h localhost -c 'create database "medusa-development";'`
- Migrate and seed the database `$ yarn seed`
- Run `$ medusa develop`

Your local Medusa server is now running on port 9000. 

Try it out: `curl -X GET localhost:9000/store/products | python -m json.tool`

After the seed script has run you will have the following things in you database:

- a User with the email: admin@medusa-test.com and password: supersecret
- a Region called Default Region with the countries GB, DE, DK, SE, FR, ES, IT
- a Shipping Option called Standard Shipping which costs 10 EUR
- a Product called Cool Test Product with a Product Variant that costs 195 EUR
