For a production guide see: [Install Discourse in production with the official supported instructions](https://meta.discourse.org/t/how-to-install-discourse-in-production/142537) So you want to set up Discourse on Ubuntu or Debian to hack on and develop with?

You can also go this way with a Docker based install (that’s surprisingly performant on WSL for example)

> Developing using Docker Since Discourse runs in Docker, you should be able to run Discourse directly from your source directory using a Discourse development container. white_check_mark Pros: No need to install any system dependencies, no configuration needed at all for setting up a development environment quickly. x Cons: Will be slightly slower than the native dev environment on Ubuntu, and much slower than a native install on MacOS.

This is not mandatory, it’s just running the unit test bundled with Discourse.

Looks like a few tests failed in your case, I would not be too concerned.
Move on and run the server.

Not strange at all, this is a super modern feature. You need to run back-end server and ember front end server simultaneously in this mode.
Alternatively you can run without Ember-CLI like so:
` NO_EMBER_CLI=1 UNICORN_BIND_ALL=TRUE bin/rails s`

Looks like you need to update `node` to a more modern version.

Just to add that the modern way of doing this now is:
`bin/ember-cli -u`
Which runs both rails and ember simultaneously
(In case anyone finds this)
