Quickstart

Copy environment variables from the sample file:

cp sample.env.local .env.local

This will open localhost:9870 in a new tab in your default browser.

To develop against a local instance of the backend API, follow instructions for deploying to a local Docker instance. Update API_BASE_URL and then restart the dev server.
