# Quickstart

> Run Filament locally in three commands.

## Prerequisites

Run `brew bundle` from the repo root to install the toolchain, and make sure
Docker is running — local infra comes up via `docker compose`.

## Run it

<Steps>
  <Step title="Start local infra">
    Brings up the data store and event bus via Docker Compose.

    ```sh theme={"theme":"vitesse-black"}
    just infra
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Run the app">
    Starts the control plane, API server, and web UI together.

    ```sh theme={"theme":"vitesse-black"}
    just dev
    ```

    The UI is served on `localhost:5173`; the API server listens on `:8080`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Run the tests (optional)">
    ```sh theme={"theme":"vitesse-black"}
    just test               # unit tests
    just test-integration   # e2e — needs Docker
    ```
  </Step>
</Steps>
