Like Bhanu I don’t do development often, but I do have a full dev setup for those rare occasions where it’s necessary. My primary OS is Windows 10, so I have Ubuntu running within a VMWare VM for my development tasks. While I considered setting up within Windows, I like the separation that a VM gives me - work is in the VM, everything else is not.

I then followed the [Install Discourse on Ubuntu or Debian for Development](https://meta.discourse.org/t/beginners-guide-to-install-discourse-on-ubuntu-for-development/14727) to configure all the dependencies and get Discourse up and running.
