We recommend using a version manager to make sure the correct version of Crystal is used with Lucky. Try crenv (recommended) or asdf-crystal (great if you already use asdf)
Alternatively you could install Crystal without a version manager.
Lucky uses a process manager to watch assets and start the server in development.
Install one of these process managers: Overmind (recommended), Heroku CLI (great if you plan to use Heroku to deploy), forego, or foreman.
By default Lucky creates a
Procfile.devthat defines what processes should be started when runninglucky dev. You can modify theProcfile.devto start other processes like running background jobs.
Lucky uses Postgres for its database. Install Postgres (macOS/Others)
