# Development
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.
## 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
1. Pull the source code
```bash
git clone https://github.com/usememos/memos
```
2. Start backend server with `air`(with live reload)
```bash
air -c scripts/.air.toml
```
3. Install frontend dependencies and generate TypeScript code from protobuf
```
cd web && pnpm i && pnpm type-gen
```
4. Start the dev server of frontend
```bash
cd web && pnpm dev
```
Memos should now be running at [http://localhost:3001](http://localhost:3001) and change either frontend or backend code would trigger live reload.
