Step-by-Step Installation of Tutor Dev Nutmeg

Follow these step-by-step instructions to install Tutor Dev Nutmeg on your system:

1. Make Tutor Directory

2. Go to that Directory

Change your working directory to the “tutor_nutmeg” repository

3. Install Tutor Dev Nutmeg using pip

(Note: We use tutor v14.2.2 for installing nutmeg, it can be changed according to your requirements)

4. Check for the installed tutor version

5. Initialize Tutor Development

Use the given command that initiates the quickstart process for setting up Tutor Dev Nutmeg

Subsequently, the process will prompt you to provide three details related to the Tutor platform, which will be saved in the config.yml file.

When the services are initialized one by one, encounter an error due to LMS:

ERROR: for tutor_dev_lms_1  Cannot start service lms: driver failed programming external connectivity on endpoint tutor_dev_lms_1 (9570d3c84d0d206a2a0151dba0481c11872775c331f9c320658d7548ad4c722c): Error starting userland proxy: listen tcp6 [::]:8000: bind: address already in use 

The error message you encountered is related to a problem with starting the "lms" service in the "tutor_dev" container.

The common reason for this error is conflict with other application using port 8000, where the Open edX LMS typically runs. To fix this, stop the conflicting application or change the LMS port number in the configuration files or environment variables. Resolving the port conflict will allow the "LMS" service to start without any issues.

Write the given command to identify the process using port 8000 for LMS:

Then kill the process ID using the given command:

In our Case, the encountered error is caused by the "tcp6" type, so we need to terminate the process ID (PID) associated with "tcp6". Re-execute the tutor Quickstart command

When running the quickstart process again, you encounter an 8001 error related to the CMS (Course Management System).

ERROR: for cms  Cannot start service cms: driver failed programming external connectivity on endpoint tutor_dev_cms_1 (f7200be76a8d1d108496dcca09412215d3686e64e16e047f2b3510d37a01d32a): Error starting userland proxy: listen tcp4 0.0.0.0:8001: bind: address already in use

This error occurs because another application or service is already using port 8001. If another instance or application is using that port, it will cause a conflict and prevent the new CMS service from starting.

To fix the issue, either stop the application using port 8001 or change the Open edX CMS port number in the configuration files or environment variables. After resolving the port conflict, the "CMS" service will start without any problems.

Identify the CMS process using port 8001

In our case, the encountered error is caused by the "tcp4" type, so we need to terminate the process ID (PID) associated with "tcp4". Run the Quickstart command again

Upon re-executing the "tutor dev quickstart" command, we receive the following output as a result.

6. Tutor Plugins

Next, execute the command to check tutor plugins.

As you can see in the above Image, plugins are disabled in tutor version v14.2.3. To successfully complete the installation of Nutmeg with Tutor Dev, it is necessary to enable the required Tutor plugins.

7. Enable/Disable Plugin

8. Save Config File

After enabling or disabling plugins, or making any changes to the configuration, it is crucial to save the config.yml file.

Save the modifications made in the config.yml file by using the command "tutor config save" and then proceed to execute the "tutor dev quickstart" command.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed Tutor Dev Nutmeg and created your own Open edX instance for local development.
