How to Install

Complete these stages in order. Run cloud provisioning commands on your workstation or in Cloud Shell and software setup commands on the VM after connecting.

1. Collect the prerequisites and confirm the source-build boundary.
2. Provision an ARM64 VM. Verify its firewall and IAP tunnel before attaching the reserved public address.
3. Prepare the host and inspect the pinned source.
4. Configure identity and the private environment file.
5. Build and initialize the fresh database, then start the services.
6. Verify access fails closed and review the administrator sign-in dependency.
7. Stop the development services while retaining volumes when the run is finished.

Use the completion checklist to record what you verified. The public development distribution reaches the running-services checkpoint. Browser sign-in requires the authenticated gateway described in step 8.
