Clone the Github Repo

First off we need to clone the Github repo, you can fork the repository to your own account and clone from there or you can clone from the official repo via:

							
							
					git clone https://github.com/documenso/documenso

Once we have cloned the github repository navigate into the documenso dir via:

							
							
					cd documenso

Setting the Env Variables

Next we will copy the .env.example file to .env, from there we can make any adjustments as needed to the documenso env variables and configuration. (Or just leave it set to the default env variables).

							
							
					cp .env.example .env

NPM Run DX

Next run the following command, this will create a postgresql database and mailserver in a docker container.

							
							
					npm run dx

Start in Dev Mode

We can then run Documenso in dev mode via:

							
							
					npm run dev

Access Endpoints

You can now access Documenso at http://localhost:/3000, the mail server at http://localhost:/9000, the S3 storage dashboard at http://localhost:/9001, and for the database, just use your favorite database client to access the database at port #5432.
