```shell

## Create the configuration
HedgeDoc 2 is configured using environment variables.
For development, we recommend creating an `.env` file.
1. Create an `.env` file. We recommend to use the example file by running `cp .env.example .env`
You can modify this file according to the [configuration documentation](../config/index.md).
2. Make sure that you've set `HD_SESSION_SECRET` in your `.env` file. Otherwise, the backend won't start.
> In dev mode you don't need a secure secret. So use any value. If you want to generate a secure session secret you
can use e.g. `openssl rand -hex 16 | sed -E 's/(.*)/HD_SESSION_SECRET=\1/' >> .env`.
3. Make sure that `HD_BASE_URL` in `.env` is set to the base url where HedgeDoc should be available. In local dev
environment this is most likely `http://localhost:8080`.

### Mocked backend
To start the development mode, run `yarn start:dev:mock` .
This task will run the frontend in mock-mode, meaning instead of running a real backend, the frontend mocks the backend.
This way you can work on frontend functionality without starting up the full development environment.
The downside of this method is that you can't save notes and that realtime collaboration features are not available.
To start the development mode, run `yarn start:dev:mock`.
The app should run now and be available under [http://localhost:3001](http://localhost:3001) in your browser.
In development mode the app will autoload changes you make to the code.
