title: Setting up a local dev environment

 |

## Backend
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To create a local development setup for authentik, you need the following:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
- Python 3.9
 | 
						|
- pipenv, which is used to manage dependencies, and can be installed with `pip install pipenv`
 | 
						|
- PostgreSQL (any recent version will do)
 | 
						|
- Redis (any recent version will do)
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
For PostgreSQL and Redis, you can use the docker-compose file in `scripts/`. You can also use a native install, if you prefer.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To configure authentik to use the local databases, create a file in the authentik directory called `local.env.yml`, with the following contents
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```yaml
 | 
						|
debug: true
 | 
						|
postgresql:
 | 
						|
  user: postgres
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
log_level: debug
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Afterwards, you can start authentik by running `./manage.py runserver`. Generally speaking, authentik is a Django application.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Most functions and classes have type-hints and docstrings, so it is recommended to install a Python Type-checking Extension in your IDE to navigate around the code.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Frontend
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
By default, no transpiled bundle of the frontend is included. To build the UI, you need Node 12 or newer.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
The Frontend also uses a generated API client to talk with the backend. To generate this client, you can use the [openapitools/openapi-generator-cli](https://github.com/OpenAPITools/openapi-generator) CLI tool.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If you want to generate the client without installing anything, run this command:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```shell
 | 
						|
docker run \
 | 
						|
  --rm -v $(pwd):/local \
 | 
						|
  openapitools/openapi-generator-cli generate \
 | 
						|
  -i /local/swagger.yaml \
 | 
						|
  -g typescript-fetch \
 | 
						|
  -o /local/web/api \
 | 
						|
  --additional-properties=typescriptThreePlus=true,supportsES6=true,npmName=authentik-api,npmVersion=1.0.0
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To build the UI, run these commands:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
cd web/
 | 
						|
npm i
 | 
						|
npm run build
 | 
						|
```
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
If you want to make changes to the UI, run `npm run watch` instead.
