Does Open EDX runs local host on Mac?
You can run Open edX on a Mac, but you’ll have to run it inside a docker container or linux VM. The easiest way would be to use Tutor along with Docker for Mac.
Hi Braden,
First of all, thank you very much for your fast response. I really appreciate it. Are you able to give the steps or join in a call to help?
Best regards
Sure:
- Install Docker on your Mac
- Increase its RAM to 4+ GB
- Follow Quickstart (1-click install) — Tutor documentation
Thank you very much
Hey Braden,
Sorry to disturb you, but if you can please take a look:
