14 | ## Give your feedback | |
15 | ||
16 | You don't need to know how to code to start contributing to PeerTube! Other | |
17 | contributions are very valuable too, among which: you can test the software and | |
18 | report bugs, you can give feedback on potential bugs, features that you are | |
19 | interested in, user interace, design, decentralized architecture... | |
20 | ||

22 | ## Development | |
23 | ||
24 | ## Develop on the Server side | |
25 | ||
26 | The server is a web server developed with | |
27 | [NodeJS](https://nodejs.org)/[Express](http://expressjs.com). | |
28 | ||
29 | Newcomer? You can find a documentation of the server code/architecture | |
30 | [here](https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/master/support/doc/server/code.md). | |
31 | ||
32 | Don't hesitate to talk about features you want to develop by creating an issue | |
33 | before you start working on them :). | |
34 | ||
35 | ||
36 | ## Develop on the Client side | |
37 | ||
38 | The client is a web application developed with | |
39 | [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org/)/[Angular2](https://angular.io/). | |
40 | ||
41 | Newcomer? You can find a documentation of the server code/architecture | |
42 | [here](https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/master/support/doc/client/code.md). | |
43 | ||
44 | ||
45 | ## Get started with development | |
46 | ||
47 | In this mode, the server will run requests between instances more quickly, the | |
48 | video durations are limited to a few seconds. | |
49 | ||
50 | ### Prerequisites | |
51 | ||
52 | First, make sure that you have followed the steps to install the dependencies. | |
53 | ||
54 | Then, create a postgres database and user with the values set in the | |
55 | `config/default.yaml` file. For instance, if you do not change the values | |
56 | there, the following commands would create a new database called `peertube_dev` | |
57 | and a postgres user called `peertube` with password `peertube`: | |
58 | ||
59 | ```bash | |
60 | # sudo -u postgres createuser -P peertube | |
61 | Enter password for new role: peertube | |
62 | # sudo -u postgres createdb -O peertube peertube_dev | |
63 | ``` | |
64 | ||
65 | ### Server side | |
66 | ||
67 | To develop on the server-side: | |
68 | ||
69 | ```bash | |
70 | $ npm run dev:server | |
71 | ``` | |
72 | ||
73 | Then, the server will listen on `localhost:9000`. When server source files | |
74 | change, these are automatically recompiled and the server will automatically | |
75 | restart. | |
76 | ||
77 | ### Client side | |
78 | ||
79 | To develop on the client side: | |
80 | ||
81 | ```bash | |
82 | $ npm run dev:client | |
83 | ``` | |
84 | ||
85 | The API will listen on `localhost:9000` and the frontend on `localhost:3000`. | |
86 | Client files are automatically compiled on change, and the web browser will | |
87 | reload them automatically thanks to hot module replacement. | |

92 | ||
93 | ## Write documentation | |
94 | ||
95 | You can help to write the documentation of the REST API, code, architecture, | |
96 | demonstrations... |
