Why we built this

What is Moovent Stack?

Moovent Stack is your dev environment — everything you need to work on Moovent
We built it so setup is plug and play — no manual config needed
One command starts all services, installs dependencies, and keeps everything up to date
A visual dashboard lets you start, stop, and monitor everything

Prerequisites

Install these before anything else

Install Dependencies

Terminal# Homebrew (macOS package manager)
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL ...Homebrew/install/HEAD/sh)"
 
# Node.js 20 (via nvm)
brew install nvm
nvm install 20 && nvm use 20
 
# Python 3.11+
brew install python@3.11
 
# Git + GitHub CLI
brew install git gh

Recommended terminal: We recommend CMUX — see the dedicated slide later in this deck.

GitHub Authentication

Required before installing — Moovent repos are private

Terminal# 1. Log in to GitHub (opens browser)
gh auth login
 
# 2. Configure git to use GitHub credentials
gh auth setup-git
 
# 3. Save token for Homebrew (add to shell profile)
echo 'export HOMEBREW_GITHUB_API_TOKEN=$(gh auth token)' >> ~/.zshrc
 
# 4. Reload shell
source ~/.zshrc

Why? Without this, brew tap, brew install, and brew upgrade will fail with 404 errors on private repos. This only needs to be done once.

Installation

One command, that’s it

Install Moovent Stack

Terminal# Install moovent-stack
brew install moovent-stack
 
# Verify installation
moovent-stack --version
 
# Launch (every time)
moovent-stack

Auto-updates: Moovent Stack automatically checks for updates when you launch it. If a new version is available, it will update itself — no action needed on your side.

First Run Setup

Three steps on your first launch

1

Infisical Credentials

Enter your Client ID and Client Secret
These will be provided to you by Geoffrey or Thibaud
Moovent Stack verifies your access against the Moovent project
Credentials are never stored on disk — only used at runtime

Host: EU Infisical
https://eu.infisical.com

What it does: Securely gives you access to all the config your dev environment needs

Note: You only need to enter these once — it remembers you

2

Workspace & GitHub

Choose install path (default: ~/Documents/Moovent-stack)
Click Connect GitHub to authorize via OAuth
If you don’t have access yet, ask Geoffrey or Thibaud to add you to the Moovent GitHub org

One-time setup: Opens your browser to authorize — takes 10 seconds

After that: Moovent Stack handles all git operations for you

Repos: mqtt_dashboard_watch and dashboard

3

Repo & Branch Selection

Geoffrey or Thibaud will give you access to the repos you need — you may get one or both depending on what you'll be working on
Pick a branch per repo (default: main)
Click Install Selected — repos are cloned, .env config written
Admin Dashboard starts automatically at 127.0.0.1:9000
