Set up a development environment for Lingua Libre. This should include:
Instructions can be found in the repo.
We managed to get it running locally. So far we were able to login in using Oauth against the beta cluster.
Apart from some general issues with installing the libraries and dependencies we didn't encounter that many issues. All the URLs seem to be hard coded to go to Commons, so to get things working with beta Commons we had to hack in a few places (see below). There may be more places that need changing for other functionality.
One thing we encountered was that there was no logging for the backend when there was a server error. For development it would help a lot if you could see those even if they are turned into error responses.
We've probably come far enough to start looking at T423394: Create "Profile" view, though we'll probably encounter more things relevant to this task.

We ran into some issues with beta Commons timing out for the authentication requests. If this happens repeatedly we may have to figure out something else, like having a mock Oauth server.
