## Running Mint
Mint is run by `docker run` command which requires Docker to be installed. For Docker installation follow the steps [here](https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/linux/docker-ce/ubuntu/).
To run Mint with Minio Play server as test target,
```sh
$ docker run -e SERVER_ENDPOINT=play.minio.io:9000 -e ACCESS_KEY=Q3AM3UQ867SPQQA43P2F \
- Create new app directory under [build](https://github.com/minio/mint/tree/master/build) and [run/core](https://github.com/minio/mint/tree/master/run/core) directories.
- Create `install.sh` which does installation of required tool/SDK under app directory.
- Any build and install time dependencies should be added to [install-packages.list](https://github.com/minio/mint/blob/master/install-packages.list).
- Build time dependencies should be added to [remove-packages.list](https://github.com/minio/mint/blob/master/remove-packages.list) for removal to have clean Mint docker image.
- Add `run.sh` in app directory under `run/core` which execute actual tests.
