## Run a local dev setup
We recommend using [Nix](./frontend/README_DEV.md#nix). See [./frontend/README_DEV.md](./frontend/README_DEV.md) for all options.
### Frontend only
Uses the backend of <https://app.windmill.dev> with local frontend (hot-reload):
```bash
cd frontend
npm install
npm run generate-backend-client # or generate-backend-client-mac on Mac
npm run dev
```
Windmill available at `http://localhost/`
### Backend + Frontend
See the [./frontend/README_DEV.md](./frontend/README_DEV.md) file for all
running options.
1. Start a local Postgres database using for instance the `start-dev-db.sh` script which will make a database available at `postgres://postgres:changeme@localhost:5432/windmill`
Then run the migrations using the following command:
```
cargo install sqlx-cli
env DATABASE_URL=<YOUR_DATABASE_URL> sqlx migrate run
```
This will also avoid compile time issue with sqlx's `query!` macro.
2. (optional, linux only) Install [nsjail](https://github.com/google/nsjail) and have it accessible in
your PATH
3. Install bun and python3 (+ any languages you want to use), have the bins at `/usr/bin/bun` and
`/usr/local/bin/python3` or set the corresponding environment variables.
4. (optional) Install the [lld linker](https://lld.llvm.org/)
5. Go to `frontend/`:
1. `npm install`, `npm run generate-backend-client` then `REMOTE=http://localhost:8000 npm run dev`
2. You might need to set some extra heap space for the node runtime
`export NODE_OPTIONS="--max-old-space-size=4096"`
3. Create an empty `frontend/build` folder using `mkdir frontend/build`
6. Go to `backend/`:
1. `env DATABASE_URL=<YOUR_DATABASE_URL> RUST_LOG=info cargo run`
2. You can specify any feature flag you want to enable, for example `cargo run --features python` to enable the python executor.
7. Windmill should be available at `http://localhost:3000`
