title: Frontend-only development environment

If you want to only make changes on the UI, you don't need a backend running from source. You can user the docker-compose install with a few customizations.
### Prerequisites
- Node.js (any recent version should work; we use 22.x to build)
- Make (again, any recent version should work)
- Docker and Docker Compose
:::info
Depending on platform, some native dependencies might be required. On macOS, run `brew install node@22`, and for Docker `brew install --cask docker`
:::
### Instructions
1. Clone the git repo from https://github.com/goauthentik/authentik.
2. In the cloned repository, follow the docker-compose installation instructions [here](../../install-config/install/docker-compose).
3. Add the following entry to your `.env` file:
```
AUTHENTIK_IMAGE=ghcr.io/goauthentik/dev-server
AUTHENTIK_TAG=gh-next
AUTHENTIK_OUTPOSTS__CONTAINER_IMAGE_BASE=ghcr.io/goauthentik/dev-%(type)s:gh-next
AUTHENTIK_LOG_LEVEL=debug
```
This will cause authentik to use the beta images.
4. Add this volume mapping to your compose file.
```yaml
services:
# [...]
server:
# [...]
volumes:
- ./web:/web
- ./local.env.yml:/local.env.yml
```
This makes the local web files and the config file available to the authentik server.
5. Run `docker compose up -d` to apply those changes to your containers.
6. `cd web`
7. Run `npm i` and then `npm run watch` to start the build process.
You can now access authentik on http://localhost:9000 (or https://localhost:9443).
You might also want to complete the initial setup under `/if/flow/initial-setup/`.
