Local Development

Before starting development on Mr.🆖 AI, you need to install and configure some necessary software and tools in your local environment. This document will guide you through these steps.

Development Environment Requirements

First, you need to install the following software:

• Node.js: Mr.🆖 AI is built on Node.js, so you need to install Node.js. We recommend installing the latest stable version.
• Yarn: We use Yarn as the preferred package manager. You can download and install it from the Yarn official website.
• PNPM: We use PNPM as an auxiliary package manager. You can download and install it from the PNPM official website.
• Git: We use Git for version control. You can download and install it from the Git official website.
• IDE: You can choose your preferred integrated development environment (IDE). We recommend using WebStorm, a powerful IDE particularly suitable for TypeScript development.

Project Setup

After installing the above software, you can start setting up the Mr.🆖 AI project.

1. Get the code: First, you need to clone the Mr.🆖 AI codebase from GitHub. Run the following command in the terminal:

git clone https://github.com/lobehub/lobe-chat.git

2. Install dependencies: Then, navigate to the project directory and use Yarn to install the project's dependencies:

cd lobe-chat
yarn install

If you are using PNPM, you can execute:

cd lobe-chat
pnpm install

3. Start the development server: After installing the dependencies, you can start the development server:

yarn run dev

Now, you can open http://localhost:3010 in your browser, and you should see the welcome page of Mr.🆖 AI. This indicates that you have successfully set up the development environment.

During the development process, if you encounter any issues with environment setup or have any questions about Mr.🆖 AI development, feel free to ask us at any time. We look forward to seeing your contributions!
