Nautobot 2 is the minimum for Design Builder now, so this line's instructions are outdated
|
The easiest way to experience Design Builder is to either add the [demo-designs](https://github.com/nautobot/demo-designs) as a git data source in an existing Nautobot environment, or to clone that repository and run it in a local environment. To start a local environment, clone the [demo-designs](https://github.com/nautobot/demo-designs) git repository and start the application stack. The only requirements for starting a local environment are `docker`, `docker-compose` and [invoke](https://www.pyinvoke.org/installing.html). Once the dependent tools have been installed you'll need to build the docker image by running `invoke build`. At that point, simply run the command `invoke start`. This will start the entire application stack using docker compose. Once the application stack is up and running, navigate to <http://127.0.0.1:8080/> and login. By default, the application stack will use Nautobot version 1.6. To see design builder in Nautobot 2, copy the `invoke.nautobot_2.yml` to `invoke.yml` and restart the application stack. |
