# Getting Started
This guide will help you get Beeline running on your local machine.
## Prerequisites
- **Docker** (v20.10+) and **Docker Compose** (v2.0+) - for containerized deployment
- **Node.js** (v20+) - for local development without Docker
## Quick Start with Docker
The fastest way to get started is using Docker Compose:
```bash
# 1. Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/adenhq/beeline.git
cd beeline
# 2. Copy and configure
cp config.yaml.example config.yaml
# 3. Run setup
npm run setup
# 4. Start services
docker compose up
```
The application will be available at:
- **Frontend**: http://localhost:3000
- **Backend API**: http://localhost:4000
- **Health Check**: http://localhost:4000/health
## Development Setup
For local development with hot reload:
```bash
# 1. Clone and configure (same as above)
git clone https://github.com/adenhq/beeline.git
cd beeline
cp config.yaml.example config.yaml
# 2. Install dependencies
npm install
# 3. Generate environment files
npm run generate:env
# 4. Start frontend (terminal 1)
cd honeycomb
npm run dev
# 5. Start backend (terminal 2)
cd hive
npm run dev
```
### Using Docker for Development
You can also use Docker with hot reload enabled:
```bash
# Copy development overrides
cp docker-compose.override.yml.example docker-compose.override.yml
# Start with hot reload
docker compose up
```

## Next Steps
1. **Configure the Application**: See [Configuration Guide](configuration.md)
2. **Understand the Architecture**: See [Architecture Overview](architecture.md)
3. **Start Building**: Add your own components and API endpoints
## Troubleshooting
### Port Already in Use
If ports 3000 or 4000 are in use, update `config.yaml`:
```yaml
server:
frontend:
port: 3001 # Change to available port
backend:
port: 4001
```
Then regenerate environment files:
```bash
npm run generate:env
```
### Docker Build Fails
Clear Docker cache and rebuild:
```bash
docker compose down
docker compose build --no-cache
docker compose up
```
### Dependencies Issues
Clear node_modules and reinstall:
```bash
npm run clean
npm install
```
