# Local Quickstart

Install [`git`](https://git-scm.com/). See [Install Git](INSTALLATION.md#install-git).

Open a terminal, clone this repository, and change directory to the repository root:

```sh
$ git clone https://github.com/usds/justice40-tool
Cloning into 'justice40-tool'...
$ cd justice40-tool
```

Install [`docker`](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/). See [Install Docker](INSTALLATION.md#install-docker).

> *Important*: To be able to run the entire application, you may need to increase the memory allocated for docker to at least 8096 MB. See [this post](https://stackoverflow.com/a/44533437) for more details.

Use `docker-compose` to run the application:

```sh
$ docker-compose up
```

> Note: This may take a while, possibly even an hour or two, since it has to build the containers and then download and process all the data.

After it initializes, you should be able to open the application in your browser at [http://localhost:8000](http://localhost:8000).
