To install Fider, you will need to clone their repository to your system. Run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/getfider/fider.git

Once the repository is cloned, navigate to the fider directory:

cd fider

mv example.env .env

Edit the .env file and provide the necessary values for your environment. For example:

DB_NAME=fider
DB_USER=fider
DB_PASSWORD=s3cr3t
DB_HOST=database

Save the file and exit the editor.

Run Fider using Docker Compose:

docker-compose up -d
