# Backend Development Setup

In root directory, run `docker compose up backend-dev` to start a database. The default settings are already configured to connect to the database at `localhost:5432`.

Make sure you have all requirements installed. You can do this by running `pip install -r requirements.txt` inside the `backend` folder and `pip install -e .` inside the `oasst-shared` folder.
Then, run the backend using the `run-local.sh` script. This will start the backend server at `http://localhost:8080`.
