# Development in Windows
Memos is built with a curated tech stack. It is optimized for developer experience and is very easy to start working on the code:
1. It has no external dependency.
2. It requires zero config.
3. 1 command to start backend and 1 command to start frontend, both with live reload support.
## Tech Stack
| Frontend | Backend |
| ---------------------------------------- | --------------------------------- |
| [React](https://react.dev/) | [Go](https://go.dev/) |
| [Tailwind CSS](https://tailwindcss.com/) | [SQLite](https://www.sqlite.org/) |
| [Vite](https://vitejs.dev/) | |
| [pnpm](https://pnpm.io/) | |
## Prerequisites
- [Go](https://golang.org/doc/install)
- [Air](https://github.com/cosmtrek/air#installation) for backend live reload
- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/)
- [pnpm](https://pnpm.io/installation)
## Steps
(Using PowerShell)
1. pull source code
```powershell
git clone https://github.com/usememos/memos
# or
gh repo clone usememos/memos
```
2. cd into the project root directory
```powershell
cd memos
```
3. start backend using air (with live reload)
```powershell
air -c .\scripts\.air-windows.toml
```
4. start frontend dev server
```powershell
cd web; pnpm i; pnpm dev
```
Memos should now be running at [http://localhost:3001](http://localhost:3001) and changing either frontend or backend code would trigger live reload.
## Building
Frontend must be built before backend. The built frontend must be placed in the backend ./server/dist directory. Otherwise, you will get a "No frontend embeded" error.
### Frontend
```powershell
Move-Item "./server/dist" "./server/dist.bak"
cd web; pnpm i --frozen-lockfile; pnpm build; cd ..;
Move-Item "./web/dist" "./server/" -Force
```
### Backend
```powershell
go build -o ./build/memos.exe ./bin/memos/main.go
```
## ❕ Notes
- Start development servers easier by running the provided `start.ps1` script.
This will start both backend and frontend in detached PowerShell windows:
```powershell
.\scripts\start.ps1
```
- Produce a local build easier using the provided `build.ps1` script to build both frontend and backend:
```powershell
.\scripts\build.ps1
```
This will produce a memos.exe file in the ./build directory.
