Ok … 3 days of trying later I am giving up!! I just cannot seem to create the image container (hopefully I am using the right vocab, I’m new to these … please teach me!) for tutor.
My current operating environment is Mac OS Sonoma 14.3.1 (23D60)
I believe I am trying to get an image container built in docker. I have saved the tutor folder with the dockerfile in it locally in my documents and tried using the docker build -t dockerfile . but keep getting this error back! ERROR: failed to solve: docker.io/python:3.8-slim-stretch: docker.io/library/python:3.8-slim-stretch: not found
Hi @ewanbrightspark I’m sorry to hear you’re having trouble using Tutor.
I’m not on a Mac, so can’t comment about Mac-specific issues, but you shouldn’t have to run any docker commands directly.
See Installing Tutor for the full docs, but there’s a lot there. So here are the steps I use to get my Tutor dev stack up and running:
# Using python 3.8 or 3.9, with the python3-venv module installed, use a python virtual environment
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
# Install Tutor and all its plugins
pip install "tutor[full]"
# Enable any extra plugins you want
tutor plugins list
tutor plugins enable --help
# This step will ask a few questions, then take care of everything for you, from pulling and building images to starting their services.
tutor dev launch
# Go get a coffee. It'll be 15 min at least
Once it’s done, you’ll see a message like this:
All services initialised.
The platform is now running and can be accessed at the following urls:
@jill thanks for this - finally helped me figure out how to get a local instance up and running. I got this terminal message as your stated
All services initialised.
The platform is now running and can be accessed at the following urls:
http://local.edly.io:8000
http://studio.local.edly.io:8001

Now I’m getting a standard “site can’t be reached” error when I try to navigate to any of the URLS. Any idea where I can start troubleshooting that?
But more likely it’s something to do with your firewall – Mac may have all those ports closed by default (the :8000, :8001, :1999 etc part of the service links). This page walks you through how to open port 8080, but you’ll need to repeat these steps for all of the port numbers listed in that service list: https://mkyong.com/mac/how-to-access-web-server-8080-in-mac-os-x/
I’m still getting no response even though I’m able to see the home page and studio home page in the browser. No firewall issues at play here, checked on all that. I’m thinking this is all configuring local DNS settings?
Hi @Ryan_Radwanski
You should map each subdomain in the hosts entry, you can put them all on one line separated by a space
eg: 127.0.0.1 local.edly.io studio.local.edly.io apps.local.edly.io
I’m sorry to hear you’re having trouble using Tutor.
