# Production Setup
## Local Setup
If you want to modify the source code, there are two scenarios. You can either
- change backend only or
- change both frontend and backend separately
Even though the package ``nocodb/packages/nocodb`` is a backend project, you can still visit the dashboard as it includes ``nc-lib-gui``.
```bash
cd packages/nocodb
npm install
npm run watch:run
# open localhost:8080/dashboard in browser
```
As ``nc-lib-gui`` is hosted in npm registry, for local development on frontend part, you should run ``nc-gui`` separately.
```bash
cd packages/nc-gui
npm install
npm run dev
# open localhost:3000/dashboard in browser
```
If you wish to combine the frontend and backend together in your local devlopment environment, you may use ``packages/nc-lib-gui`` as a local depenedency by updating the ``packages/nocodb/package.json`` to
```json
"nc-lib-gui": "file:../nc-lib-gui"
```
In this case, whenever there is any changes made in frontend, you need to run ``npm run build:copy`` under ``packages/nc-gui/``.
## Production Setup
NocoDB requires a database to store metadata of spreadsheets views and external databases.
And connection params for this database can be specified in `NC_DB` environment variable.
