# Getting started
|
|
|
|
## Preparing for running the backend code
|
|
|
|
**ToDo:** Document how to setup development environment using docker.
|
|
|
|
1. Clone the repository with `git clone https://github.com/hedgedoc/hedgedoc.git`
|
|
(cloning is the preferred way, but you can also download and unzip a release)
|
|
|
|
2. Enter the directory and run `yarn install`.
|
|
|
|
3. Run `cp .env.example .env` to use the example configuration.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, set up a [.env](../config/index.md) or set up
|
|
[environment variables](../config/index.md) yourself.
|
|
|
|
4. Run `openssl rand -hex 16 | sed -E 's/(.*)/HD_SESSION_SECRET=\1/' >> .env` to generate a session secret if you have not set one manually before.
|
|
|
|
## Preparing for running the frontend code
|
|
|
|
**ToDo:** Document how to setup development environment using docker.
|
|
|
|
1. Clone the repository with `git clone https://github.com/hedgedoc/react-client.git`
|
|
(cloning is the preferred way, but you can also download and unzip a release)
|
|
|
|
2. Enter the directory and run `yarn install`.
|
|
|
|
## Running Hedgedoc with auto-reload
|
|
|
|
We will run Hedgedoc in development mode, which means the backend and frontend will automatically rebuild or restart when you make changes.
|
|
|
|
The commands will stay active in your terminal, so you will need multiple tabs
|
|
to run both at the same time.
|
|
|
|
1. Enter the `react-frontend` directory and use `yarn start:for-real-backend` if you want webpack to continuously rebuild the frontend code. The frontend will expect a running backend at port 3000.
|
|
|
|
**Note:** You can run `yarn start` to start a frontend with an integrated, mocked API. This may support more features than the real backend.
|
|
|
|
2. To start the server in auto-reload mode, enter the `hedgedoc` directory and run `env NODE_ENV=development yarn start:dev`.
|
|
|
|
## Testing
|
|
|
|
- After starting both frontend and backend, Hedgedoc will be available at `http://localhost:3000`.
|
|
|
|
**Note:** If you only started the frontend, it will be available at `http://localhost:3001`.
|
|
|
|
**Note:** If you want to use Hedgedoc with the real backend, point your browser at `http://localhost:3000`, as the backend proxies requests to the frontend and you'll get CORS errors if you try to use the frontend directly.
