For ease of installation, we _highly recommend_ installing Investbrain using the provided [Docker Compose](https://github.com/investbrainapp/investbrain/blob/main/docker-compose.yml) file, which uses the official Investbrain Docker image and includes all the necessary dependencies to seamlessly build everything you need to get started quickly!
Before getting started, you should already have the following installed on your machine: [Docker Engine](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/), [Git](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git), and a wild sense of adventure.
Before getting started, you should already have [Docker Engine](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/) installed on your machine.
Ready? Let's get started!
First, you can clone this repository:
**1. Copy [docker-compose.yml](https://github.com/investbrainapp/investbrain/blob/main/docker-compose.yml)**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/investbrainapp/investbrain.git && cd investbrain
```
Grab a copy of the [Docker Compose](https://github.com/investbrainapp/investbrain/blob/main/docker-compose.yml) file and paste the contents where you plan to install Investbrain.
Then, build the Docker image and bring up the container (this will take a few minutes):
**2. Copy [.env](https://github.com/investbrainapp/investbrain/blob/main/.env.example)**
```bash
docker compose up
```
Copy over the [.env.example](https://github.com/investbrainapp/investbrain/blob/main/.env.example) file to the same directory as the compose file you created above.
In the previous step, all of the default configurations are set automatically. This includes creating a .env file and setting the required Laravel `APP_KEY`.
> Don't forget: You need to set the `APP_KEY` value in your .env! If you're unsure, you can run `openssl rand -base64 32` from your terminal to generate a strong key!
