# Appsmith Server

This is the server-side repository for the Appsmith framework.
For details on setting up your development machine, please refer to the [Setup Guide](../../contributions/ServerSetup.md). Alternatively, you can run the server using docker(see the instructions below). 

## Run locally with Docker 

You can run the server codebase in a docker container. This is the easiest way to get the server up and running if all you care about is contributing to the client codebase.
