You will also need to configure Composer to connect to a few [private repositories](https://getcomposer.org/doc/articles/authentication-for-private-packages.md). You will need the following:

1. A Github classic token with repo scope

Creating the token itself is done in [your Github account settings](https://github.com/settings/tokens/new?scopes=repo&description=For+Composer), and then registered with Composer via a command like:

```bash
composer config --global github-oauth.github.com TOKEN_VALUE_HERE
```

2. Our credentials for the Advanced Custom Fields Pro plugin

These credentials can be found in our shared LastPass account, in the `Shared-Product-Pantheon` folder. They are added
to your Composer configuration via a command like:

```bash
composer config --global http-basic.connect.advancedcustomfields.com USERNAME PASSWORD
```

When you are done with these steps, you should be able to see the results in `~/.composer/auth.json`.

```bash
$ brew install --cask lando

Lando should _not_ be installed via homebrew. The [install instructions](https://lando.dev/download/) should be followed instead.

## Set up application

- git clone mitlib-wp-network
- composer install
- lando pull
- lando wp search-replace command
- lando start
- (optional) lando logs -f
1. git clone mitlib-wp-network
2. composer install

If you run into problems during this phase, you may need to complete the authentication steps listed in the Composer
section above.

3. lando start

While the site cannot be used yet, the containers should be running for the steps which follow.

4. lando pull

The `pull` command can take database and files from any tier on Pantheon, but in most cases you will want to select the
Live tier.

5. lando wp search-replace command

```bash
lando wp search-replace libraries.mit.edu mitlib-wp-network.lndo.site --url=libraries.mit.edu --network
```

Get .env from someone
6. Load https://mitlib-wp-network.lndo.site/ in your browser. Voila!

Set secrets.json values inside Lando (need more words here)
## Please note

Load https://mitlib-wp-network.lndo.site/ and see the homepage
These instructions do not cover how to define application secrets, which mostly involve allowing WordPress to send
emails via the WP SMTP plugin, and is rarely needed for local development. That topic is covered in the project README
if it becomes relevant for your work.
