# Scenario 1: Setting up Renovate
|
|
|
|
Renovate is heavily opionated and brings a lot of defaults. To explore how Renovate works, we will restrict execution to the bare minimum and build up each scenario.
|
|
|
|
## Requirements
|
|
|
|
- Node.js 25.x
|
|
|
|
## How to Run
|
|
|
|
### 1. Run Renovate
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ npx renovate
|
|
|
|
Need to install the following packages:
|
|
renovate@37.440.7
|
|
Ok to proceed? (y) y
|
|
|
|
FATAL: You must configure a GitHub token
|
|
INFO: Renovate was run at log level "info". Set LOG_LEVEL=debug in environment variables to see extended debug logs.
|
|
INFO: Renovate is exiting with a non-zero code due to the following logged errors
|
|
"loggerErrors": [
|
|
{
|
|
"name": "renovate",
|
|
"level": 60,
|
|
"logContext": "lSbx4z8Fg9mvnJ44Hk3Ji",
|
|
"msg": "You must configure a GitHub token"
|
|
}
|
|
]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This error is expected. Renovate needs a GitHub Personal Access Token (PAT), as Renovate initially wants to create Pull Requests for any pending updates.
|
|
|
|
### 2. Create a GitHub PAT
|
|
|
|
See [official documentation](https://docs.renovatebot.com/modules/platform/github/#running-using-a-fine-grained-token).
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ npx renovate --token=<PAT> --dry-run
|
|
|
|
WARN: cli config dryRun property has been changed to full
|
|
WARN: No repositories found - did you want to run with flag --autodiscover?
|
|
INFO: Renovate was run at log level "info". Set LOG_LEVEL=debug in environment variables to see extended debug logs.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Next Steps
|
|
|
|
Move to the next scenario: [2-dockerfile-dry-run](../2-dockerfile-dry-run)
