Sure, I can guide you through the basics of setting up the Ory open-source ecosystem from scratch to production. 1. Understand the Ory Ecosystem: The Ory Ecosystem is a set of tools and protocols that can be used to secure and manage user identities, permissions, and access to resources. Each component in the ecosystem can be replaced or removed depending on your use case. You can read more about the services in the developer guide [here](https://www.ory.sh/docs/ecosystem/projects#all-of-ory-open-source). 2. Install Ory CLI: The Ory CLI is a convenient tool that helps you manage and configure Ory Network projects. You can install it on macOS, Linux, or Windows. The installation instructions can be found [here](https://www.ory.sh/docs/guides/cli/installation). 3. Create Your First Project: Once you have installed the Ory CLI, you can create your first project. This will give you access to Ory's APIs. The instructions to create a project can be found [here](https://www.ory.sh/docs/getting-started/local-development). 4. Set Up Your Environment: To run your application, you need to set up your environment variables to connect with Ory's APIs. The instructions for setting up the environment variables can be found [here](https://www.ory.sh/docs/getting-started/integrate-auth/react#run-your-react-app). 5. Deploy to Production: Once you have your application set up, you can deploy it to production. You can read the guide on preparing for production [here](https://www.ory.sh/docs/hydra/self-hosted/production). 6. Next Steps: After deploying to production, you can further enhance your application by adding Identity and Account Management, building a custom UI, adding Two Factor Authentication (2FA), configuring the password policy, and integrating using webhooks. The guides for these can be found [here](https://www.ory.sh/docs/hydra/self-hosted/deploy-hydra-example#next-steps) and [here](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/guides/deploy-kratos-example#next-steps). Remember, this is just a basic guide. To use Ory productively, you must understand its core concepts and APIs. You can start with the Ory Kratos Quickstart guide [here](https://www.ory.sh/docs/kratos/quickstart).
