# Developer Setup
Yaak is a combined Node.js and Rust monorepo. It is a [Tauri](https://tauri.app) project, so
uses Rust and HTML/CSS/JS for the main application but there is also a plugin system powered
by a Node.js sidecar that communicates to the app over gRPC.
Because of the moving parts, there are a few setup steps required before development can
begin.
## Prerequisites
Make sure you have the following tools installed:
- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download/package-manager)
- [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org/tools/install)
Check the installations with the following commands:
```shell
node -v
npm -v
rustc --version
```
Install the NPM dependencies:
```shell
npm install
```
Run the `bootstrap` command to do some initial setup:
```shell
npm run bootstrap
```
_NOTE: Run with `YAAK_PLUGINS_DIR=<Path to yaakapp/plugins>` to re-build bundled plugins_
## Run the App
After bootstrapping, start the app in development mode:
```shell
npm start
```
_NOTE: If working on bundled plugins, run with `YAAK_PLUGINS_DIR=<Path to yaakapp/plugins>`_
## SQLite Migrations
New migrations can be created from the `src-tauri/` directory:
```shell
cd src-tauri
sqlx migrate add migration-name
```
Run the app to apply the migrations.
If nothing happens, try `cargo clean` and run the app again.
_Note: Development builds use a separate database location from production builds._
