If you're using another database, check the file `activerecord/test/config.yml` or `activerecord/test/config.example.yml` for default connection information. You can edit `activerecord/test/config.yml` to provide different credentials on your machine if you must, but obviously you should not push any such changes back to Rails.

+### Action Cable Setup
+
+Action Cable uses Redis as its default subscriptions adapter ([read more](action_cable_overview.html#broadcasting)). Thus, in order to have Action Cable's tests passing you need to install and have Redis running.
+
+#### Install Redis From Source
+
+Redis' documentation discourage installations with package managers as those are usually outdated. Installing from source and bringing the server up is straight forward and well documented on [Redis' documentation](https://redis.io/download#installation).
+
+#### Install Redis From Package Manager
+
+On macOS, you can run:
+
+```bash
+$ brew install redis
+```
+
+Follow the instructions given by Homebrew to start these.
+
+On Ubuntu, just run:
+
+```bash
+$ sudo apt-get install redis-server
+```
+
+On Fedora or CentOS (requires EPEL enabled), just run:
+
+```bash
+$ sudo yum install redis
+```
+
+If you are running Arch Linux, just run:
+
+```bash
+$ sudo pacman -S redis
+$ sudo systemctl start redis
+```
+
+FreeBSD users will have to run the following:
+
+```bash
+# portmaster databases/redis
+```
+
+### Active Storage Setup
+
+When working on Active Storage, it is important to note that you need to
+install its JavaScript dependencies while working on that section of the
+codebase. In order to install these dependencies, it is necessary to
+have Yarn, a Node.js package manager, available on your system. A
+prerequisite for installing this package manager is that
+[Node.js](https://nodejs.org) is installed.
+
+
+On macOS, you can run:
+
+```bash
+brew install yarn
+```
+
+On Ubuntu, you can run:
+
+```bash
+curl -sS https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/pubkey.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
+echo "deb https://dl.yarnpkg.com/debian/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/yarn.list
+
+sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install yarn
+```
+
+On Fedora or CentOS, just run:
+
+```bash
+sudo wget https://dl.yarnpkg.com/rpm/yarn.repo -O /etc/yum.repos.d/yarn.repo
+
+sudo yum install yarn
+```
+
+Finally, after installing Yarn, you will need to run the following
+command inside of the `activestorage` directory to install the dependencies:
+
+```bash
+yarn install
+```
