I want to learn how to use Appsmith and run it on my PC's local host.
To run Appsmith on your local host, you will need to follow a few steps. First, you need to download and install Docker on your PC. Docker is a platform for developing, shipping, and running applications in containers.
Next, you need to clone the Appsmith repository from GitHub. Open your terminal or Git Bash and run the command:
git clone https://github.com/appsmithorg/appsmith.git
Once the repository is cloned, navigate to the appsmith
directory and run the following command to pull Appsmith's Docker image:
docker-compose pull
After the image is pulled, run the following command to start the Appsmith container:
docker-compose up -d
The -d
flag runs the container in the background. Once the container is up and running, you can access the Appsmith dashboard by opening your web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8080
.
You can log in with the default username and password, which are admin
and password
. You should change these credentials after logging in for the first time.
That's it! You can now start building and testing your applications using Appsmith on your local host.
