To test the plugin on a local 4.x ASpace instance:

2. For the archivesspace release you'd like to test, download the archivesspace-docker zip file
3. Unzip the file
4. cd into the uncompressed archivesspace-docker directory
5. In config/config.rb, uncomment the array of plugins and add date_builder
6. cd plugins
7. git clone [email protected]:pulibrary/date_builder.git
8. docker compose up -d
9. Enter the docker container: docker compose exec -it app bash
10. Navigate into archivesspace and initialize the plugin: ./scripts/initialize-plugin.sh date_builder
11. Wait for aspace to come up. It will take several minutes.
12. Go to http://localhost/staff
13. Log in with credentials: admin / admin
14. Create or modify records with dates. Note that if the date has no expression, but does have a begin and/or end date, the expression will be automatically filled in after you save the record.
