This is currently the easy way to get a development setup working: [Install Discourse for development using Docker](https://meta.discourse.org/t/beginners-guide-to-install-discourse-for-development-using-docker/102009)

If you can’t figure out how to do a [discourse/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md), then you’re going to have trouble.

The [data explorer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/32566?silent=true) plugin is a little bit like php-myadmin.

I am not familiar with Bluefish, but I think it should be fine.
