tutor local vs tutor main

tutor local should be used by site operators to deploy an Open edX instance.

tutor main should be used by developers when writing code for the master/main branches. See Tutor Quickstart (Developer) if you are developing code.

Also, it is helpful to first watch the video on the What is Tutor? page before embarking on your Tutor journey.

Which version of Tutor to use?

Find out what the latest release of Tutor is, and ensure you are using that version. The Open edX project only supports one release at a time, so running an older release will mean you don’t have the latest features, bugfixes, and security fixes.

See the versioning section of the Tutor docs for more about versioning. The releases section of the Tutor docs will show which version is the latest. You can also check out the Open edX Releases Homepage to learn more about the latest and upcoming Open edX release.

  1. Follow the instructions for installing Tutor.

  2. Next, review the common Tutor tasks for commands used to create superusers, import the “Open edX Demo Course”, and set themes.

Congratulations! You are now running Tutor, on the latest named release.
