# Getting Started with Budibase
(For contributors - scroll down)
### 1. Prerequisites (for nodegyp)
We will try to make this bit easier, but for now:
- Windows - https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp#on-windows
- Ubuntu `sudo apt-get install build-essentials`
- Mac: https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp#on-macos
### 2. Global install budibase
`npm install -g budibase`
### 3. Start using Budibase
Create a directory to store your Budibase apps
`mkdir my-budibase`
`cd my-budibase`
Initialise Budibase in current directory
`budi init`
Create a new Budibase app
`budi new my-app`
Run Budibase
`budi`
You can now access the Budibase builder on http://localhost:4001/_builder
Start building!
Once you have created your app, you need to create yourself an instance of your app (i.e. a database)
`budi instance my-app`
## Getting Started for Contributors
Install requires [node-gyp](https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp), due to a dependancy on [argon2](https://github.com/ranisalt/node-argon2)
### 1. Prerequisites
*nodegyp -*
- Windows - https://github.com/nodejs/node-gyp#on-windows
- Ubuntu `sudo apt-get install build-essentials`

*lerna -* `npm install -g lerna`
*jest* - `npm install -g jest`

then `cd ` into your local copy...
### 3. Install and Build
`lerna bootstrap` will install all modules
`lerna run build` will build all packages
`lerna run initialise` will initialise your budibase (i.e. create local database)
