### GitHub Codespaces Setup
<Info>This guide outlines how to set up Formbricks in a **GitHub Codespaces** environment.</Info>
**Requirements:**
- A GitHub Codespace that has support for Node.JS, pnpm, and Docker.
**Steps:**
1. **Open your repository in GitHub Codespaces. If needed, clone the repository:**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/formbricks/formbricks && cd formbricks
```
2. **Setup NodeJS with nvm (if not already configured):**
```bash
nvm install && nvm use
```
3. **Install the dependencies:**
```bash
pnpm install
```
4. **Create a `.env` file from the template:**
```bash
cp .env.example .env
```
5. **Generate & set the required secrets:**
```bash
sed -i '/^ENCRYPTION_KEY=/c\ENCRYPTION_KEY='$(openssl rand -hex 32) .env
sed -i '/^NEXTAUTH_SECRET=/c\NEXTAUTH_SECRET='$(openssl rand -hex 32) .env
sed -i '/^CRON_SECRET=/c\CRON_SECRET='$(openssl rand -hex 32) .env
```
6. **Launch the development setup:**
```bash
pnpm go
```
Use the Codespaces port forwarding to access Formbricks at [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000).
<Tip>Make sure your Codespaces port configuration is set to allow access to the app.</Tip>
