# Welcome to the contributing guide for PeerTube
Interesting in contributing? Awesome :)

## Give your feedback
You don't need to know how to code to start contributing to PeerTube! Other
contributions are very valuable too, among which: you can test the software and
report bugs, you can give feedback on potential bugs, features that you are
interested in, user interace, design, decentralized architecture...
## Development
## Develop on the Server side
The server is a web server developed with
[NodeJS](https://nodejs.org)/[Express](http://expressjs.com).
Newcomer? You can find a documentation of the server code/architecture
[here](https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/master/support/doc/server/code.md).
Don't hesitate to talk about features you want to develop by creating an issue
before you start working on them :).
## Develop on the Client side
The client is a web application developed with
[TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org/)/[Angular2](https://angular.io/).
Newcomer? You can find a documentation of the server code/architecture
[here](https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube/blob/master/support/doc/client/code.md).
## Get started with development
In this mode, the server will run requests between instances more quickly, the
video durations are limited to a few seconds.
### Prerequisites
First, make sure that you have followed the steps to install the dependencies.
Then, create a postgres database and user with the values set in the
`config/default.yaml` file. For instance, if you do not change the values
there, the following commands would create a new database called `peertube_dev`
and a postgres user called `peertube` with password `peertube`:
```bash
# sudo -u postgres createuser -P peertube
Enter password for new role: peertube
# sudo -u postgres createdb -O peertube peertube_dev
```
### Server side
To develop on the server-side:
```bash
$ npm run dev:server
```
Then, the server will listen on `localhost:9000`. When server source files
change, these are automatically recompiled and the server will automatically
restart.
### Client side
To develop on the client side:
```bash
$ npm run dev:client
```
The API will listen on `localhost:9000` and the frontend on `localhost:3000`.
Client files are automatically compiled on change, and the web browser will
reload them automatically thanks to hot module replacement.

## Write documentation
You can help to write the documentation of the REST API, code, architecture,
demonstrations...
