System setup

Everything needed to take a machine from bare Docker to a running Data2Evidence with real data in it. The three subsections are meant to be worked through in order: Environment setup covers the prerequisites, the d2e CLI and the environment variables the services read; Configure the system holds optional configuration you can usually skip on a first pass; and Data load is the longest stretch — creating the database, loading vocabularies, and getting patient data in.

Budget real time for the data load. Downloading the Athena vocabularies alone is several gigabytes, and loading them takes considerably longer than starting the application does. If you just want to see the platform working, load the demo dataset with ./d2e setupdemo instead and come back to this section when you have a real database to connect.
