## Alternative: git clone (developers)

From the Community repository:

```bash theme={"dark"}
cp .env.example .env    # once — set JWT, SMTP, and secrets
npm start               # API :9090 · web :9191
npm run stop            # stops processes; does not wipe the database
```

Check prerequisites with `bash scripts/doctor.sh` or [Doctor](/GettingStarted/Doctor/Index).
