"Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. ." Romans 5:5

Then in the root of this project, type box recipe workbench/setup.boxr. This will download the necessary dependencies to develop and test with ContentBox.
You can then go ahead and start an embedded server according to which engine you would like to hack in. Please note that the default CFML engine is a Lucee 5 engine. You can start any of the following engines:
run-script start:2018- ACF 2018run-script start:2021- ACF 2021run-script start:lucee- Lucee 5
You can also tail the logs for each server:
run-script log:2018- ACF 2018run-script log:2021- ACF 2021run-script log:lucee- Lucee 5
Be sure to setup your environment variables by copying the file .env.template to .env.
You will need to run the following command to ensure that JavaScript assets are compiled for development.
npm run build-devFor running our test suites you will need 2 more steps, so please refer to the Readme in the tests folder.
