Hi guys! I have no experience with deploys, and I'm struggling to install airbyte locally in development version (https://docs.airbyte.com/contributing-to-airbyte/developing-locally/) to test a feature that is open (https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/pull/16032). I use windows, so I installed Docker Desktop and WSL 2 following the steps in this tutorial (https://docs.airbyte.com/deploying-airbyte/local-deployment/). Obviously I stopped at step 3 of the "Deploy on Windows" section, and then went back to the dev version installation tutorial. When I run
SUB_BUILD=PLATFORM ./gradlew build
it starts to build, but after a few minutes it always fails:
Copy code
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

* What went wrong:
Gradle build daemon disappeared unexpectedly (it may have been killed or may have crashed)
I have no idea how to proceed, I searched a lot about this error but because I don't have much knowledge in docker, I'm pretty lost. Can anyone give me a light?

Hi. 1. Install docker desktop 2. follow this guide step by step https://docs.airbyte.com/deploying-airbyte/local-deployment dont forget to make sure: 1. Enable Hyper-V Windows Features 2. _Install required Windows components for WSL 2_\ when prompted. After installation, it will require to reboot your computer. docker will create the image for you and each time you want to use airbyte - go to docker desktop - containers and click on the play button 🙂 wait for it and done 🙂

@Eli Sigal thanks for answering! In this case, this tutorial you posted is to run the airbyte in production, and I need to run the airbyte in the dev version, from a specific branch of the Pull Request that I informed in the original message

Hi. This tutorial is also for local development and works in dev env also. just run your own local docker and go to localhost:8000

Ok! I will try this! I'm a little confused, what's the difference from this tutorial? (https://docs.airbyte.com/contributing-to-airbyte/developing-locally/)

Hey @Giovani Freitas, the difference between the two tutorials is that one of them is about how to deploy Airbyte on Windows to be able to develop locally or otherwise and the other tutorial is how to build the project locally so that you can test your changes locally. Does that make sense?

Hmm, I think I get it! ok, i'll try later. My WSL just stopped working, windows sucks 😕
