# Local development

You need Go 1.26 or later and Node 22 or later.

## Only tide

```sh
cd web && npm install && cd ..
make build
./bin/tide
```

Open `http://localhost:8080` and make a room. To join as a guest, open the room link in a private window.

## With sign-in and recording

You also need Docker with Compose.

```sh
make dev
```

The first run builds MinIO from source, which takes a few minutes. Open `http://localhost:5173`. Sign in as `host@tide.dev` with the password `tide-dev`.

`make dev` is for macOS. On Linux, add `TIDE_MEDIA_NODE_IP=<your LAN address>` to `.env` in the repository root, or recordings fail.
