### Local Machine Setup - Mac
<Info>This guide is recommended for advanced users setting up Formbricks on a **Mac** machine.</Info>
**Requirements:**
- Node.JS (v20 recommended)
- [pnpm](https://pnpm.io/)
- [Docker](https://www.docker.com/)
**Steps:**
1. **Clone the project & change directory:**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/formbricks/formbricks && cd formbricks
```
2. **Setup NodeJS with nvm:**
```bash
nvm install && nvm use
```
3. **Install NodeJS packages with pnpm:**
```bash
pnpm install
```
4. **Create a `.env` file from the example:**
```bash
cp .env.example .env
```
5. **Generate & set secret values (using BSD sed syntax for macOS):**
```bash
sed -i '' '/^ENCRYPTION_KEY=/s|.*|ENCRYPTION_KEY='$(openssl rand -hex 32)'|' .env
sed -i '' '/^NEXTAUTH_SECRET=/s|.*|NEXTAUTH_SECRET='$(openssl rand -hex 32)'|' .env
sed -i '' '/^CRON_SECRET=/s|.*|CRON_SECRET='$(openssl rand -hex 32)'|' .env
```
6. **Generate the Next.js AGENTS.md file (optional, for AI-assisted development):**
This step generates an `AGENTS.md` file at the repository root that provides Next.js documentation context for AI coding assistants (e.g. Cursor, GitHub Copilot). It runs `npx @next/codemod agents-md` under the hood. Re-run it whenever you upgrade Next.js.
```bash
pnpm agents:update
```
7. **Start the development setup:**
```bash
pnpm go
```
