# Quick try
## 1-Click Deploy to Heroku
Before doing so, make sure you have a Heroku account. By default, an add-on Heroku Postgres will be used as meta database. You can see the connection string defined in `DATABASE_URL` by navigating to Heroku App Settings and selecting Config Vars.
## NPX
You can run below command if you need an interactive configuration.
```
npx create-nocodb-app
```
## Node Application
We provide a simple NodeJS Application for getting started.
```bash
git clone https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb-seed
cd nocodb-seed
npm install
npm start
```
## Docker
```bash
# for SQLite
docker run -d --name nocodb \
-v "$(pwd)"/nocodb:/usr/app/data/ \
-p 8080:8080 \
nocodb/nocodb:latest
# for MySQL
docker run -d --name nocodb-mysql \
-v "$(pwd)"/nocodb:/usr/app/data/ \
-p 8080:8080 \
-e NC_DB="mysql2://host.docker.internal:3306?u=root&p=password&d=d1" \
-e NC_AUTH_JWT_SECRET="569a1821-0a93-45e8-87ab-eb857f20a010" \
nocodb/nocodb:latest
# for PostgreSQL
docker run -d --name nocodb-postgres \
-v "$(pwd)"/nocodb:/usr/app/data/ \
-p 8080:8080 \
-e NC_DB="pg://host.docker.internal:5432?u=root&p=password&d=d1" \
-e NC_AUTH_JWT_SECRET="569a1821-0a93-45e8-87ab-eb857f20a010" \
nocodb/nocodb:latest
# for MSSQL
docker run -d --name nocodb-mssql \
-v "$(pwd)"/nocodb:/usr/app/data/ \
-p 8080:8080 \
-e NC_DB="mssql://host.docker.internal:1433?u=root&p=password&d=d1" \
-e NC_AUTH_JWT_SECRET="569a1821-0a93-45e8-87ab-eb857f20a010" \
nocodb/nocodb:latest

> To persist data in docker you can mount volume at `/usr/app/data/` since 0.10.6. Otherwise your data will be lost after recreating the container.
> If you plan to input some special characters, you may need to change the character set and collation yourself when creating the database. Please check out the examples for [MySQL Docker](https://github.com/nocodb/nocodb/issues/1340#issuecomment-1049481043).

# Production Setup
By default, SQLite is used for storing meta data. However, you can specify your own database. The connection params for this database can be specified in `NC_DB` environment variable. Moreover, we also provide the below environment variables for configuration.
## Environment variables
Please refer to [Environment variables](https://docs.nocodb.com/getting-started/installation#environment-variables)
# Development Setup
Please refer to [Development Setup](https://docs-dev.nocodb.com/engineering/development-setup)
# Contributing

# Why are we building this?
Most internet businesses equip themselves with either spreadsheet or a database to solve their business needs. Spreadsheets are used by a Billion+ humans collaboratively every single day. However, we are way off working at similar speeds on databases which are way more powerful tools when it comes to computing. Attempts to solve this with SaaS offerings has meant horrible access controls, vendor lockin, data lockin, abrupt price changes & most importantly a glass ceiling on what's possible in future.
# Our Mission
Our mission is to provide the most powerful no-code interface for databases which is open source to every single internet business in the world. This would not only democratise access to a powerful computing tool but also bring forth a billion+ people who will have radical tinkering-and-building abilities on internet.
