Make sure you have allocated enough resources for Docker. We recommend to allocate at least 4 CPUs, 4GB of RAM and 10GB of disk space.
Windows, Linux and MacOS are supported. For Windows, you need WSL2.

This script will:
- Download Faros code repository and setup containers
- Ask you to configure Git and/or Jira sources
- Pull data from those sources to your machine
- Direct you to the dashboards
GitHub (Cloud), GitLab (Cloud + Server), Bitbucket (Cloud + Server), Jira (Cloud) are currently supported. All the data remains on your machine. You can inspect the code here.
