Once the prerequisites are met, the initialization process involves configuring the Scoutline environment variables and firm perimeter settings.

​
Environment Configuration

Create a .env file in your root deployment directory. You will need to populate it with your specific firm metadata. 
SCOUTLINE_FIRM_ID=firm_id_xxx
SCOUTLINE_LICENSE_KEY=lic_xxx
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://user:pass@localhost:5432/scoutline
VECTOR_DB_URL=http://vectordb:8080

​
Initialization Service

Run the Scoutline Bootstrap service to prepare the local environment: 
docker run --rm -v $(pwd):/app scoutline/bootstrap:latest init
This service will:
  1. Verify hardware compatibility.
  2. Initialize local database schemas.
  3. Configure the encrypted volume for the local Vault.
