+# Design Document
+
+## Overview
+
+This design document outlines the approach for setting up and configuring the Umami analytics platform for local development. The solution focuses on creating comprehensive setup documentation, validation scripts, and helper utilities that guide developers through the installation process while catching common configuration errors early.
+
+The design leverages existing Umami infrastructure (check-env.js, check-db.js scripts) and extends it with additional validation, better error messaging, and a streamlined setup experience. The solution will be implemented as a combination of documentation improvements, enhanced validation scripts, and optional setup automation.

+   - Verify recovery and continuation
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+### Existing Infrastructure to Leverage
+
+1. **check-env.js** - Already validates DATABASE_URL and CLOUD_URL variables
+2. **check-db.js** - Already validates database connection and version
+3. **package.json scripts** - Well-organized build pipeline
+4. **next.config.ts** - Proper environment variable handling
+
+### Enhancements Needed
+
+1. **Better Error Messages**
+   - Add more context to existing error messages
+   - Include solutions and documentation links
+   - Use consistent formatting with chalk
+
+2. **Pre-flight Validation**
+   - Create comprehensive validator that runs before build
+   - Check all prerequisites in one command
+   - Provide summary of what's ready and what's missing
+
+3. **Setup Documentation**
+   - Create detailed SETUP.md

+   - Provide .env.example without sensitive data
+
+2. **Database Credentials**
+   - Validate URL format but don't log credentials
+   - Mask passwords in error messages
+   - Use secure connection strings
+
+3. **Default Credentials**
+   - Document that default admin/umami should be changed
+   - Add warning message after first build
+   - Consider adding password change prompt
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+1. **Validation Speed**
+   - Run checks in parallel where possible
+   - Cache validation results during setup
+   - Skip expensive checks if earlier ones fail
+
+2. **Build Optimization**
+   - Use Turbo mode for development (already configured)
+   - Leverage Next.js caching
+   - Document build time expectations
+
+## Future Enhancements
+

+   - Validate Docker and Docker Compose installation
+   - Check docker-compose.yml configuration
+   - Verify container health
+
+2. **Database Migration Validation**
+   - Check migration status
+   - Warn about pending migrations
+   - Provide rollback guidance
+
+3. **Health Check Endpoint**
+   - Add /api/health endpoint
+   - Check database connectivity
+   - Verify all services are operational
+
+4. **Setup Telemetry**
+   - Track common setup errors (anonymously)
+   - Improve documentation based on data
+   - Identify pain points in setup process

+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed on your system:
+
+### Required
+
+1. **Node.js** (version 18.18 or newer)
+   - Check your version: `node --version`
+   - Download: [https://nodejs.org/](https://nodejs.org/)
+
+2. **pnpm** (package manager)
+   - Check if installed: `pnpm --version`
+   - Install: `npm install -g pnpm`
+   - Documentation: [https://pnpm.io/installation](https://pnpm.io/installation)
+
+3. **PostgreSQL** (version 12.14 or newer)
+   - Check your version: `psql --version`
+   - Download: [https://www.postgresql.org/download/](https://www.postgresql.org/download/)
+   - Ensure PostgreSQL service is running
+
+### Optional
+
+- **Git** - For cloning the repository
+- **Docker** - For containerized deployment (alternative to local setup)
+
+## Installation Steps
+
+### Step 1: Clone the Repository
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/umami-software/umami.git
+cd umami
+```
+
+**Expected Output:** Repository cloned successfully
+
+### Step 2: Install Dependencies
+
+```bash
+pnpm install
+```
+
+**Expected Output:**
+```
+Packages: +XXX
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+Progress: resolved XXX, reused XXX, downloaded X, added XXX, done
+```
+
+**Note:** This may take a few minutes depending on your internet connection.
+
+### Step 3: Validate Setup
+
+Run the setup validator to check if everything is configured correctly:
+
+```bash
+node scripts/setup-validator.js
+```
+
+**Expected Output:**
+```
+🔍 Validating Umami Setup...
+
+✓ Node.js Version: Node.js X.X.X is installed (minimum: 18.18.0)
+✓ Package Manager (pnpm): pnpm X.X.X is installed
+✗ Environment Configuration: .env file not found
+  💡 Solution: Copy .env.example to .env and configure your database connection
+```
+
+## Environment Configuration
+
+### Step 1: Create Environment File
+
+Copy the example environment file:
+
+```bash
+cp .env.example .env
+```
+
+### Step 2: Configure Database Connection
+
+Open `.env` in your text editor and update the `DATABASE_URL`:
+
+```bash
+DATABASE_URL=postgresql://username:password@localhost:5432/umami
+```
+
+Replace:
+- `username` - Your PostgreSQL username (default: `postgres`)
+- `password` - Your PostgreSQL password
+- `localhost` - Database host (use `localhost` for local development)
+- `5432` - PostgreSQL port (default: 5432)
+- `umami` - Database name (you'll create this in the next step)
+
+### Step 3: Optional Configuration
+
+The `.env` file contains other optional variables you can configure:
+
+- `BASE_PATH` - Host Umami under a subdirectory (e.g., `/analytics`)
+- `TRACKER_SCRIPT_NAME` - Custom names for the tracking script
+- `FORCE_SSL` - Force HTTPS connections in production
+- `DEFAULT_LOCALE` - Set default language
+
+See `.env.example` for all available options and their descriptions.
+
+## Database Setup
+
+### Step 1: Create PostgreSQL Database
+
+Connect to PostgreSQL and create a database for Umami:
+
+```bash
+# Using createdb command
+createdb umami
+
+# Or using psql
+psql -U postgres
+CREATE DATABASE umami;
+\q
+```
+
+### Step 2: Verify Database Connection
+
+Test your database connection:
+
+```bash
+psql -U your_username -d umami -h localhost
+```
+
+If successful, you'll see the PostgreSQL prompt. Type `\q` to exit.
+
+### Step 3: Validate Database Configuration
+
+Run the database check script:
+
+```bash
+node scripts/check-db.js
+```
+
+**Expected Output:**
+```
+🔍 Checking Database Configuration...
+
+✓ DATABASE_URL is defined and format is valid.
+✓ Database connection successful.
+✓ Database version check successful (PostgreSQL X.X.X).
+✓ Database is up to date.
+
+✅ All database checks passed!
+```
+
+## Building the Application
+
+### Step 1: Run the Build
+
+```bash
+pnpm run build
+```
+
+This command will:
+1. Validate environment variables
+2. Generate Prisma client
+3. Run database migrations (creates tables)
+4. Build the tracking script
+5. Build the Next.js application
+
+**Expected Output:**
+```
+✓ Environment variables validated successfully
+✓ Prisma client generated
+✓ Database migrations applied
+✓ Tracking script built
+✓ Next.js build completed
+```
+
+**Note:** The first build will:
+- Create all necessary database tables
+- Generate a default admin user:
+  - **Username:** `admin`
+  - **Password:** `umami`
+  - ⚠️ **Important:** Change this password after first login!
+
+### Step 2: Verify Build
+
+Check that the build completed successfully:
+
+```bash
+ls -la .next
+```
+
+You should see a `.next` directory with build artifacts.
+
+## Running the Application
+
+### Development Mode
+
+For development with hot-reload:
+
+```bash
+pnpm run dev
+```
+
+**Expected Output:**
+```
+✓ Ready on http://localhost:3001
+```
+
+The application will be available at: **http://localhost:3001**
+
+Features in development mode:
+- Hot module replacement (HMR)
+- Detailed error messages
+- Source maps for debugging
+- Turbo mode for faster builds
+
+### Production Mode
+
+For production deployment:
+
+```bash
+pnpm run start
+```
+
+**Expected Output:**
+```
+✓ Ready on http://localhost:3000
+```
+
+The application will be available at: **http://localhost:3000**
+
+**Note:** You must run `pnpm run build` before starting in production mode.
+
+### First Login
+
+1. Open your browser and navigate to the application URL
+2. Log in with default credentials:
+   - Username: `admin`
+   - Password: `umami`
+3. **Immediately change the password** in Settings → Profile
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues and Solutions
+
+#### Issue: "DATABASE_URL is not defined"
+
+**Cause:** Missing or incorrect `.env` file
+
+**Solution:**
+1. Ensure `.env` file exists in project root
+2. Verify `DATABASE_URL` is set correctly
+3. Check for typos in the connection string
+
+```bash
+# Verify .env file exists
+ls -la .env
+
+# Check DATABASE_URL format
+cat .env | grep DATABASE_URL
+```
+
+#### Issue: "Unable to connect to the database"
+
+**Cause:** PostgreSQL is not running or connection details are incorrect
+
+**Solution:**
+1. Check if PostgreSQL is running:
+   ```bash
+   # Linux/macOS
+   pg_ctl status
+   # or
+   systemctl status postgresql
+   
+   # Windows
+   sc query postgresql
+   ```
+
+2. Start PostgreSQL if not running:
+   ```bash
+   # Linux/macOS
+   pg_ctl start
+   # or
+   systemctl start postgresql
+   
+   # Windows
+   net start postgresql
+   ```
+
+3. Verify connection details:
+   ```bash
+   psql -U your_username -d umami -h localhost
+   ```
+
+4. Check PostgreSQL logs for errors:
+   ```bash
+   # Location varies by system
+   tail -f /var/log/postgresql/postgresql-XX-main.log
+   ```
+
+#### Issue: "Database version is not compatible"
+
+**Cause:** PostgreSQL version is below 12.14
+
+**Solution:**
+Upgrade PostgreSQL to version 12.14 or newer:
+
+```bash
+# Ubuntu/Debian
+sudo apt-get update
+sudo apt-get install postgresql-14
+
+# macOS (Homebrew)
+brew upgrade postgresql
+
+# Windows
+# Download installer from https://www.postgresql.org/download/windows/
+```
+
+#### Issue: "Node.js version is too old"
+
+**Cause:** Node.js version is below 18.18
+
+**Solution:**
+Upgrade Node.js:
+
+```bash
+# Using nvm (recommended)
+nvm install 18
+nvm use 18
+
+# Or download from https://nodejs.org/
+```
+
+#### Issue: "pnpm: command not found"
+
+**Cause:** pnpm is not installed
+
+**Solution:**
+```bash
+npm install -g pnpm
+```
+
+#### Issue: "Build fails with Prisma errors"
+
+**Cause:** Prisma client not generated or database not accessible
+
+**Solution:**
+1. Ensure database is running and accessible
+2. Regenerate Prisma client:
+   ```bash
+   pnpm run build-db
+   ```
+3. Check database connection:
+   ```bash
+   node scripts/check-db.js
+   ```
+
+#### Issue: "Port 3000 or 3001 already in use"
+
+**Cause:** Another application is using the port
+
+**Solution:**
+1. Find and stop the process using the port:
+   ```bash
+   # Linux/macOS
+   lsof -i :3001
+   kill -9 <PID>
+   
+   # Windows
+   netstat -ano | findstr :3001
+   taskkill /PID <PID> /F
+   ```
+
+2. Or use a different port:
+   ```bash
+   # Development
+   PORT=3002 pnpm run dev
+   
+   # Production
+   PORT=3002 pnpm run start
+   ```
+
+#### Issue: "Cannot find module" errors
+
+**Cause:** Dependencies not installed or corrupted
+
+**Solution:**
+1. Clean install dependencies:
+   ```bash
+   rm -rf node_modules pnpm-lock.yaml
+   pnpm install
+   ```
+
+2. Clear Next.js cache:
+   ```bash
+   rm -rf .next
+   pnpm run build
+   ```
+
+### Database Connection Troubleshooting
+
+#### Test Database Connection Manually
+
+```bash
+psql postgresql://username:password@localhost:5432/umami
+```
+
+If this fails, check:
+1. PostgreSQL service is running
+2. Username and password are correct
+3. Database exists
+4. Host and port are correct
+5. Firewall allows connections
+
+#### Check PostgreSQL Configuration
+
+```bash
+# Find PostgreSQL config file
+psql -U postgres -c 'SHOW config_file'
+
+# Check if PostgreSQL is listening on correct port
+psql -U postgres -c 'SHOW port'
+
+# Check allowed connections
+cat /path/to/pg_hba.conf
+```
