Dudestack - A modern WordPress development environment

This is a development manual for a digital agency called Dude (Digitoimisto Dude Oy), check out the company website where @ronilaukkarinen is the head of technical development at the moment. Dude is using plenty of tools, apps, modules, frameworks which together are called "stack". Dudestack-instructions contains information about these tools and instructions on how to set up a similar stack.

This wiki and instructions exist only because Dude's envinroment setup is growing in a fast pace and there's simply too many repositories to consider when building the stack from scratch.

The instructions assume that you don't have anything pre-installed. If you have something installed, please just skip the step. Scroll down to Installation.

We hope you enjoy!
