Docker
Cerebral Cortex is built for development and production use based on Docker technologies.
Container customizations and relevant docker-compose files are available in our GitHub repository. This repository contains configurations relevant for both development and production usage. As support is expanded for other cloud services, the GitHub page will reflect these additions.
Installation
Two things must be installed to utilize these Docker containers:
1. Docker
2. Docker-compose
Once these dependencies have been installed, the commands on this page will function properly.

Development
Cerebral Cortex can be run for development purposes by cloning this repository and launching docker-compose. A machine with at least 16GB of memory is recommended to run all the containers.
> git clone https://github.com/MD2Korg/CerebralCortex-DockerCompose
> cd CerebralCortex-DockerCompose
> docker-compose up
This will tell Docker to download all dependencies and build the necessary local images before starting all the containers on your system. Once the system has started everything up, you can access Cerebral Cortex’s capabilities with these instructions
