Preconditions

Candidates

10x Resume assumes candidates are software developers familiar with the typical processes involved in downloading and installing software, editing files and using command-line tools.

Unix

10x Resume expects the candidate has a Unix system with Bash ↗︎ and Git ↗︎.

Third-party tools

10x Resume expects a candidate will ensure their system has the following third-party tools installed in their environment.

just https://github.com/casey/just jq https://github.com/jqlang/jq pnpm https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm dotenvx https://github.com/dotenvx/dotenvx

Precondition check

Candidates can verify the tools listed above are available on their own or they can manually run the same cursory check the 10x Resume just ↗︎ commands use during the development process to verify the tools are present after they’ve creating their 10x Resume git workspace.

Steps

Change to the git workspace directory cloned from 10xresume/dev ↗︎
(e.g. ~/10xresume/dev)
Terminal window
```
cd ~/10xresume/dev                   # the base git workspace directory
```
Run the precondition check
Terminal window
```
just preconditions
```
No output will be shown if the tools are available. An error only will appear if any required tool is not found.
Sample error output
```
% just preconditions
missing jq ........ https://github.com/jqlang/jq
```

Why is nothing printed if the tools are available?

As mentioned above, the other just ↗︎ commands in the 10x Resume .justfile automatically perform this quick check each time they are run. It’s expected to succeed each time so nothing is printed unless there’s a problem.

Since the check is run automatically by the other commands, candidates only need to run it explicitly when getting started.
