I am trying to migrate my comments from disqus to discourse and came across these comments [https://meta.discourse.org/t/migrating-from-disqus-to-discourse-for-static-blog-comments/19947/22?u=quintin\_par](https://meta.discourse.org/t/migrating-from-disqus-to-discourse-for-static-blog-comments/19947/22) I couldn’t find the importer at [https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/lib/tasks/disqus.thor](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/lib/tasks/disqus.thor) Those posts were in 2014 and the last topic on this is 2016 if I am not wrong [https://meta.discourse.org/t/disqus-import-script/38750](https://meta.discourse.org/t/disqus-import-script/38750) Is the importer still active? ---

Looks like the Disqus importer moved in with the other importers: > ---

Thanks @awole20. Does this mean, the commands to run this has changed? ---

You would run it like ``` ruby script/import_scripts/discus.rb ``` Glancing at it, it doesn’t support uploads, avatars, or 301 redirects. It puts everything in a single category (perhaps that’s how Discus works). ---

Hi @pfaffman, ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/f/a/fa0e91fcfc3c2334bb70cb38c23b22492f428b3c.png) I was unable to get to the script folder. What am I doing wrong here? ---

You need to install a development environment. ---

Is this how I should setup the dev environment? > [@Install Discourse on Ubuntu or Debian for Development](https://meta.discourse.org/t/beginners-guide-to-install-discourse-on-ubuntu-for-development/14727/): > > warning This guide covers installation instructions in a development environment. 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? We’ll assume that you work locally and don’t have Ruby/Rails/Postgres/Redis installed on your Ubuntu or Debian system. Let’s begin! Requirements We suggest having at least 4 GB RAM and 2 CPU cores. Current compatibility: O… I am a bit surprised here because comments like this > [@Import Wordpress comments through Disqus](https://meta.discourse.org/t/import-wordpress-comments-through-disqus/31666): > > Hi, I try to migrate my WordPress comments to Discourse. I’ve read a lot about that, and I saw I need to transit my comments through Disqus to do that, because imports script don’t work with WP at this time. I’ve installed Discourse with DigitalOcean and [the 30 min install](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md). Well, [inspired by this tutorial](http://www.railsonmaui.com/blog/2014/09/27/updating-to-jekyll-2-and-discourse-for-comments/), I’ve tried to import my xml from Disqus. First : $ RAILS\_ENV=production bundle exec thor disqus:import --file=irz.xml --post-as=disqus --dry-run Could not find command "disqus:import". Ok… and [http://www.railsonmaui.com/blog/2014/09/27/updating-to-jekyll-2-and-discourse-for-comments/](http://www.railsonmaui.com/blog/2014/09/27/updating-to-jekyll-2-and-discourse-for-comments/) don’t mention setting up env.
