# Local Setup
This section will guide you through the Twenty installation on your local environment.
Twenty is designed to be developer-friendly, and your local installation should be up and running in a few minutes.
In a nutshell:
- We recommend using `yarn` installation but we also provide an easy way to provide the project with Docker.
- Twenty uses PostgreSQL as a database. If we don't have one available, we also provide a one-line command to provision a PostgreSQL instance through Docker.
The repository is structured as follows:
```
twenty
└───docs // contains this documentation
└───front // contains the frontend code for the application
└───server // contains the backend code for the application
└───infra // contains docker development/production-ready deployment configuration
```
## Yarn install (recommended)
**Note:** `npm` is currently not supporting local packages satisfactorily. We strongly recommend using `yarn` instead.
### 1. Pre-requisites
You need to have [git](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git), [node](https://nodejs.org/en/download) and [yarn](https://classic.yarnpkg.com/lang/en/docs/install/) installed on your computer.
### 2. Git clone
```
git clone git@github.com:twentyhq/twenty.git
```
### 3. PostgresSQL database
You also need to have a PosgresSQL database available. If you already have one available, you can skip this step.
If you don't, you can provision one through `docker` using the following command:
```
cd twenty
make provision-postgres
```
This will create a docker container, exposing a PostgresSQL instance at [http://localhost:5432](http://localhost:5432).
### 4. Setup env variables
Twenty requires a few environment variables to be set. Locally, we recommend setting them through `.env` file.
To do so, make a copy of .env.example files:
```
cp ./front/.env.example ./front/.env
cp ./server/.env.example ./server/.env
```
The default values should work out of the box. Don't forget to update the database connection string if you are using your own database instance.
### 5. Server setup
**Note:** we recommend that you use `nvm` to install the correct `node` version. We have added a `server/.nvmrc` to ensure all contributors are using the same version.
To build Twenty server and seed some data into your database:
```
cd server
nvm install #recommended
nvm use #recommended
yarn
yarn prisma:reset
yarn start:dev
```
Twenty server will be running at [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000).
### 6. Front setup
**Note:** similarly, we recommend that you use `nvm` to install the right node version.
```
cd ../front
nvm install #recommended
nvm use #recommended
yarn
yarn start
```
Twenty front will be running at [http://localhost:3001](http://localhost:3001).
### 7. Sign in to your local Twenty installation
Browse [http://localhost:3001](http://localhost:3001). You can connect using our recently seeded demo account `tim@apple.dev`.
## Docker install
If you wish, you can also provision the project with docker. This come with a few advantages:
- It provides the exact same environment as our core developer team.
- It includes some additional dependencies (such as `playwright`) that you might need if you wish to contribute to some advanced areas of the project.
- It provisions a postgres database.
### 1. Pre-requisites
Make sure you have the latest `Docker` and [git](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git) versions installed on your computer.
You can run `docker --version` to check they it is installed.
### 2. Git clone
```
git clone git@github.com:twentyhq/twenty.git
```
### 3. Setup env variables
Twenty requires a few environment variables to be set. Locally, we recommend setting them through `.env` pattern.
```
cp ./front/.env.example ./front/.env
cp ./server/.env.example ./server/.env
```
The default values should work out of the box.
### 4. Build
We provide a containerized environment with Docker and orchestrated with docker-compose.
This install will also provision a Postgres container.
**Note:** the configuration is stored `infra/dev` folder but you can run `make` commands direclty from the root folder.
```
make build
```
### 5. Migrate & seed
Before running the project, you need to initialize the database by running migration and seeds.
Start the containers:
```
make up
```
Run database migrations, generate prisma client and seed:
```
make server-prisma-reset
```
### 6. Start Twenty
Once this is completed you can run the project with the following commands:
front:
```
make front-start
```
server:
```
make server-start
```
- front available on: [http://localhost:3001](http://localhost:3001)
- server available on: [http://localhost:3000/graphql](http://localhost:3000/graphql)
- postgres: available on [http://localhost:5432](http://localhost:5432) and should contain database named `default`
### 7. Sign in to your local Twenty installation
Browse [http://localhost:3001](http://localhost:3001). You can connect using our recently seeded demo account `tim@apple.dev`.
### 8. (Optional)
If you don't want to use make command and work directly from the container, you can also ssh directly in the container
```
make sh
```
Then run commands through yarn:
```
cd server
yarn prisma:reset
```
