I tried Running localhost server

[grave iris]

• I tried running localhost server using npm run start:web
• server is running fine and first screen is login screen but I am unable to login ( showing network error )

[sleek yarrow]

Do you have api running?

and MongoDB and Redis servers as well?

[grave iris]

No , Can you guide me how to do that?

How can I do that with docker?

@sleek yarrow

[rugged pond]

Just run npm run start
Jarvis CLI will guide you though the process

[grave iris]

On npm run start -> selected development environment setup ( showing above error )

[rugged pond]

Instead of selecting development environment, select the first option i.e local run

[grave iris]

I successfully solved this issue and now my local server is running on 4200, I was able to login but after some time I refreshed page because changes in vs code was not reflecting on localhost server but on refreshing server close and when I am again doing npm run start:web it is showing error

[rugged pond]

Try running npm run setup: project maybe there are some missing packages

*setup:project

[grave iris]

okk

@grave iris, you just advanced to level 1!

[grave iris]

@rugged pond I tried but still not working

I don't know what happened, The server was running perfectly fine and I just refreshed the page and now the server not starting again

[sleek yarrow]

honestly I prefer to run them seperately

npm run start:api and npm run start:web

[grave iris]

npm run start:api , npm run start:web and npm run start:worker these are in different terminals

even without backend the npm run start:web command should display login page

[sleek yarrow]

can you show what is printed to console above

I suspect memory leak but not sure

[sleek yarrow]

this is common issue

I will give you command to paste soon

[grave iris]

ok thanks, I will be waiting

[sleek yarrow]

I see you are using windows, so try something like this: ```powershell
$Env:NODE_OPTIONS='--max-old-space-size=8192'

I assume you have at least 8 GB of memory

but 4 GB max old space should work too

You will need to type it every time you open terminal. I don't remember how to "persist" env variable on Windows, but it's possible.

[grave iris]

thanks a lot

@grave iris, you just advanced to level 2!

[grave iris]

do I have to reload website every time to reflect changes to my localhost server?

[sleek yarrow]

it should reload automatically if you change something in apps/web

but in case of some libraries inside libs you may need to rebuild that library and then web's server should detect change

[grave iris]

changes in vscode aren't directly reflecting to website

[grave iris]

can you guide me how to do that

changes made in my vscode took 10-15sec to reflect

[sleek yarrow]

depends where you are making changes

for example if you are working on shared library there is ```sh
npm run start:shared

and as far I remember it watches changes

[grave iris]

how do i know where I am working

i am working in email-editor folder

[rugged pond]

Yes its using nodemon so if has hot reload

[rugged pond]

You can check that using the path as novu is a monorepo
So there's folder for every service
Like email editor is in the web folder

app/web

[grave iris]

ok so for web folder what is command to wathc? @rugged pond

[lethal crystal]

@grave iris, you just advanced to level 3!

[steep glade]

@grave iris web uses hot reloading, and it updates automatically on change

What is your system configuration like RAM Size / OS / Processor?

[grave iris]

but it takes upto 10 sec to reflect changes, Its hard to code that way

[grave iris]

wait

8gb ram, AMD Ryzen 5 5600H , Graphic card GTX 1650

[steep glade]

if possible close unused applications to save system resources

[rugged pond]

npm run start:web

You can see all the commands in the package.json in root dir

[grave iris]

okay if that's the only option

[grave iris]

npm run setup:project not working , My localhost server was not starting so I though to setup again but I am getting this message

I have latest version of pnpm ,

@sleek yarrow @steep glade

[grave iris]

Issue is Solved...

[restive hamlet]

@grave iris Are you willing to open an issue with a common FAQ and how you solved it to help other windows users trying to set up novu for the first time?

[grave iris]

Okay I will do it soon

[grave iris]

@restive hamlet Hey, Sorry for the delay, I opened the issue so please checkout and tell me if any changes required -> https://github.com/novuhq/novu/issues/4630

[steep glade]

@grave iris
Thanks

[grave iris]

I think you should pin this issue otherwise how do new contributors find that.

[steep glade]

We need to add this in our docs

[grave iris]

Can I do that? It would also help me to complete my hacktoberfest Pull request.
