00:00:01,290 --> 00:00:07,080

So we need to install a local mail server and it is a testing mail server, and while you could actually



2

00:00:07,260 --> 00:00:12,450

populate the necessary configurations right in your server configuration, when you're sending mail



3

00:00:13,230 --> 00:00:18,870

and send it through a live server in development, that's never a good idea and it's never a good idea



4

00:00:18,870 --> 00:00:24,510

because occasionally at some point you will be working with data that includes actual email addresses



5

00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:30,030

and you'll be sending emails left, right and center without realizing you're actually sending to real



6

00:00:30,030 --> 00:00:30,450

people.



7

00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:36,150

So the way we get around that is by installing a local mail server and using that instead.



8

00:00:36,150 --> 00:00:39,300

Or you could use mail trapped or one of the commercial services.



9

00:00:39,300 --> 00:00:42,000

But I find mail hug are really easy to use package.



10

00:00:42,930 --> 00:00:47,760

And if you're on a Mac, then this lecture will show you how to install it on a Macintosh.



11

00:00:47,770 --> 00:00:50,310

If you're on Windows, then it's a little different.



12

00:00:50,580 --> 00:00:54,620

So I'll have a separate lecture for that because I need to be in front of a Windows machine to do it.



13

00:00:55,170 --> 00:01:01,980

But first of all, go here, go to my blog and when you scroll down, it'll tell you how to install



14

00:01:01,980 --> 00:01:02,130

it.



15

00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:06,450

And on Mac it says Use Broo update and install Malha.



16

00:01:06,460 --> 00:01:11,970

Now, you can't do that unless you happen to have homebrew already installed if you don't go install



17

00:01:11,970 --> 00:01:12,110

it.



18

00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:15,210

It's a really simple process and it's incredibly useful.



19

00:01:15,210 --> 00:01:20,850

Homebrew has thousands and thousands of packages which are of immense use to developers.



20

00:01:21,270 --> 00:01:27,990

For example, we could have set up postgrads using homebrew on a Mac or on a Mac and it would be just



21

00:01:27,990 --> 00:01:30,900

as just as functional as the one that I had you install.



22

00:01:31,140 --> 00:01:35,760

Actually, I'm using postgrads installed through Homebrew anyway to install it.



23

00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,330

Copy this command as it appears here.



24

00:01:38,550 --> 00:01:41,090

So just copy it or click the copy button.



25

00:01:41,090 --> 00:01:41,900

Not even easier.



26

00:01:42,420 --> 00:01:47,570

Go to your favorite terminal, open a new window and paste it in and then run it.



27

00:01:47,580 --> 00:01:51,750

Now I already have it installed so I'm not going to install it, but this will actually install it for



28

00:01:51,750 --> 00:01:53,270

you and it will take a little while.



29

00:01:53,280 --> 00:02:01,110

So once that's done, you just use the commands right on this page back here, copy and paste this.



30

00:02:01,110 --> 00:02:06,330

And when you do that, once it's installed mail hug, you will be able to run it by using the command



31

00:02:06,330 --> 00:02:14,610

line or more more usefully, you can actually use this command Broo Services start mail hook and that



32

00:02:14,610 --> 00:02:15,360

will start it for you.



33

00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,130

I have it stopped right now, running right now.



34

00:02:17,130 --> 00:02:17,880

So I'll stop it.



35

00:02:18,510 --> 00:02:19,620

I'll stop the service



36

00:02:23,340 --> 00:02:25,290

bus services, stop mail hug.



37

00:02:28,460 --> 00:02:34,360

And brew services start mail hug, I guess they didn't have it running and we'll start it.



38

00:02:35,020 --> 00:02:35,690

So now it's running.



39

00:02:35,690 --> 00:02:42,260

So now that it's running, I can go to my favorite browser and type in HTTP called English Localhost



40

00:02:43,310 --> 00:02:45,050

Colen eight 025.



41

00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:50,060

So it's running on a port eight 025 and there is mail hug up and running.



42

00:02:50,330 --> 00:02:51,350

So install that.



43

00:02:51,710 --> 00:02:56,270

And in the next lecture I'll show Windows people how to install it on your Windows machine.
