Running Atomic-Server locally (optional)​

In this guide, we'll can simply use atomicdata.dev in our browser without installing anything. So you can skip this step and go to Creating your first Atomic Data. But if you want to, you can run Atomic-Server on your machine in a couple of ways:

  • Using a desktop installer: download a desktop release from the releases page and install it using your desktop GUI.
  • Using a binary: download a binary release from the releases page and open it using a terminal.
  • Using Docker is probably the quickest: docker run -p 80:80 -p 443:443 -v atomic-storage:/atomic-storage joepmeneer/atomic-server.
  • Using Cargo: cargo install atomic-server and then run atomic-server to start.
