| # Development Environment | |
| ## Prerequisite | |
| Node is required for local development. | |
| We recommend using a Node version manager ([nvm](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm) for example) to ensure a stable development environment is used. | |
| Below are the required node / npm versions: | |
| ```sh | |
| "node": ">18.13.0", | |
| "npm": ">8.19.3" | |
| ``` | |
| ## Installation | |
| In your working directory, open terminal and paste the following commands: | |
| ```sh | |
| git clone https://github.com/WebKit/Speedometer.git | |
| cd Speedometer | |
| npm install | |
| ``` | |
| ## Run Development Server | |
| 1. In your terminal run: | |
| ```sh | |
| npm run dev | |
| ``` | |
| 2. Open your browser of choice and navigate to [http://127.0.0.1:7000](http://127.0.0.1:7000) | |
| ## Local Server | |
| Speedometer uses [http-server](https://github.com/http-party/http-server), which is a static HTTP server. Meaning it does not provide hot-reloading. By default, the dev script disables caching and local changes can be viewed by simply refreshing your browser window. Additional options of the http-server can be found [here](https://github.com/http-party/http-server#available-options). |
