Getting Started

Installation Methods

There are technically two ways to install the frontend. One is significantly easier and requires fewer steps, but the other is a fallback option and is also better for local development. They are as follows:

Method 1: Docker

Docker will allow you to use an actual GUI (a user interface) for running the frontend, and is generally easier for those who aren't as familiar with using the command line, although some commands will still need to be run.

Method 2: Yarn

Using Yarn is a little more involved, but still relatively simple as long as directions are followed step-by-step.

Global Prerequisites

No matter which method you choose, you'll want to install a few things first.

• Git for Windows
• The Spectra Client

Once both of these are installed, go ahead and choose the appropriate method, then follow the installation instructions.
