Local Setup

If you want to modify the source code,

• Start the backend locally

cd packages/nocodb
npm install
npm run watch:run

• Start the frontend locally

cd packages/nc-gui
npm install
npm run dev

• Open localhost:3000/dashboard in browser

nocodb/packages/nocodb includes nc-lib-gui which is the built version of nc-gui hosted in npm registry.
You can visit localhost:8000/dashboard in browser after starting the backend locally if you just want to modify the backend only.
