+# π οΈ Development Setup Guide
+
+Welcome to the **Open WebUI Development Setup Guide!** Whether you're a novice or an experienced developer, this guide will help you set up a **local development environment** for both the frontend and backend components. Letβs dive in! π
+
+## System Requirements
+
+- **Operating System**: Linux (or WSL on Windows) or macOS
+- **Python Version**: Python 3.11+
+- **Node.js Version**: 20.10+
+
+## Development Methods
+
+
+
+
+
+### π§ Local Development Setup
+
+1. **Clone the Repository**:
+ ```bash
+ git clone https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui.git
+ cd open-webui
+ ```
+
+2. **Frontend Setup**:
+ - Create a `.env` file:
+ ```bash
+ cp -RPp .env.example .env
+ ```
+ - Install dependencies:
+ ```bash
+ npm install
+ ```
+ - Start the frontend server:
+ ```bash
+ npm run dev
+ ```
+ π Available at: [http://localhost:5173](http://localhost:5173).
+
+3. **Backend Setup**:
+ - Navigate to the backend:
+ ```bash
+ cd backend
+ ```
+ - Use **Conda** for environment setup:
+ ```bash
+ conda create --name open-webui python=3.11
+ conda activate open-webui
+ ```
+ - Install dependencies:
+ ```bash
+ pip install -r requirements.txt -U
+ ```
+ - Start the backend:
+ ```bash
+ sh dev.sh
+ ```
+ π API docs available at: [http://localhost:8080/docs](http://localhost:8080/docs).
+
+
+
+
+
+### π³ Docker-Based Development Setup
+
+1. **Create the Docker Compose File**:
+ ```yaml
+ name: open-webui-dev
+
+ services:
+ frontend:
+ build:
+ context: .
+ target: build
+ command: ["npm", "run", "dev"]
+ depends_on:
+ - backend
+ ports:
+ - "3000:5173"
+ extra_hosts:
+ - host.docker.internal:host-gateway
+ volumes:
+ - ./src:/app/src
+
+ backend:
+ build:
+ context: .
+ target: base
+ command: ["bash", "dev.sh"]
+ env_file: ".env"
+ environment:
+ - ENV=dev
+ - WEBUI_AUTH=False
+ ports:
+ - "8080:8080"
+ extra_hosts:
+ - host.docker.internal:host-gateway
+ volumes:
+ - ./backend:/app/backend
+ - data:/app/backend/data
+
+ volumes:
+ data: {}
+ ```
+
+2. **Start the Development Containers**:
+ ```bash
+ docker compose -f compose-dev.yaml up --watch
+ ```
+
+3. **Stop the Containers**:
+ ```bash
+ docker compose -f compose-dev.yaml down
+ ```
+
+
+
+
+### Conda Environment Setup
+
+If you prefer using **Conda** for isolation:
+
+1. **Create and Activate the Environment**:
+ ```bash
+ conda create --name open-webui-dev python=3.11
+ conda activate open-webui-dev
+ ```
+
+2. **Install Dependencies**:
+ ```bash
+ pip install -r requirements.txt
+ ```
+
+3. **Run the Servers**:
+ - Frontend:
+ ```bash
+ npm run dev
+ ```
+ - Backend:
+ ```bash
+ sh dev.sh
+ ```
+
+
+
+
+
+## π Troubleshooting
+
+### **FATAL ERROR: Reached Heap Limit**
+
+If you encounter memory-related errors during the build, increase the **Node.js heap size**:
+
+1. **Modify Dockerfile**:
+ ```dockerfile
+ ENV NODE_OPTIONS=--max-old-space-size=4096
+ ```
+
+2. **Allocate at least 4 GB of RAM** to Node.js.
+
+---
+
+### **Other Issues**
+
+- **Port Conflicts**:
+ Ensure that no other processes are using **ports 8080 or 5173**.
+
+- **Hot Reload Not Working**:
+ Verify that **watch mode** is enabled for both frontend and backend.
+

+## Contributing to Open WebUI
+
+### Local Workflow
+
+1. **Commit Changes Regularly** to track progress.
+2. **Sync with the Main Branch** to avoid conflicts:
+ ```bash
+ git pull origin main
+ ```
+
+3. **Run Tests Before Pushing**:
+ ```bash
+ npm run test
+ ```
+
+Happy coding! π
