### Local Machine Setup - Windows
<Info>
This guide is intended for **Windows** users. For the best experience, use **WSL2** since pure Windows is not fully supported.
</Info>
**Requirements:**
- Node.JS (v20 recommended) via WSL2
- [pnpm](https://pnpm.io/)
- [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) (ensure Docker Desktop is installed with WSL2 integration enabled)
**Steps (Using WSL2):**
1. **Open your WSL2 terminal and clone the project:**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/formbricks/formbricks && cd formbricks
```
2. **Setup NodeJS with nvm in WSL2:**
```bash
nvm install && nvm use
```
3. **Install packages using pnpm:**
```bash
pnpm install
```
4. **Create a `.env` file:**
```bash
cp .env.example .env
```
5. **Generate & set secret values (Linux commands work in WSL2):**
```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. **Start the development setup:**
```bash
pnpm go
```
Access Formbricks at [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000).

If you run into conflicts, ensure any local services (like PostgreSQL) are stopped.
