### 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 development `.env` file and generate the required secrets:**
```bash
pnpm dev:setup
```
5. **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
```
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>
