Manual Setup
Manual setup refers to the process of configuring, installing, and deploying software, systems, or environments by hand, without relying on automated tools or scripts. It involves step-by-step execution of tasks such as installing dependencies, setting configurations, and verifying operations. This approach is often used for small-scale projects, learning purposes, or when automation is not feasible.
Developers should learn manual setup to gain a deep understanding of system internals, troubleshoot issues effectively, and build foundational skills before automating processes. It is particularly useful in educational contexts, prototyping, or when dealing with legacy systems that lack automation support. However, for production environments, it is generally recommended to use automated methods to ensure consistency and scalability.
