## Setting up your development environment
This guide will help you set up your development environment to start contributing to homarr.
### Prerequisites
- **Node.js (lts)**: You can download it from the [official website](https://nodejs.org/).
- **pnpm (latest)**: You can install it by running `npm install -g pnpm`.
- **Git**: You can download it from the [official website](https://git-scm.com/).
- **Docker or Docker Desktop**: You can download it from the [official website](https://www.docker.com/).
- **A GitHub account**: You can create one on the [official website](https://github.com/).

3. Change directory to the project folder with `cd homarr`.
4. Install the dependencies with `pnpm install`.
5. Start redis by running `pnpm run docker:dev`. This will run a docker-compose file with a redis service.
6. Copy the `.env.example` file to `.env` and replace `DB_URL` with the full path you want to use for the sqlite database file. For example `DB_URL='C:\\Dev\\homarr\\packages\\db\\db.sqlite'`
7. Run the migrations to create the sqlite db file with `pnpm run db:migration:sqlite:run`.
8. Start the development server with `pnpm dev` and wait for a message that says `✓ Ready in 10.7s`
9. Open your browser and navigate to [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000). (Loading the page might take up to 2 minutes the first time)
