*Note: This is not a photo editor. All images are stored in the file system, so you can continue using your favorite tools like Photoshop or Lightroom. No upload or download needed, if you run it at home. Easy, isn't it?*
This is the official way to test our development snapshot. We just started working on the UI and features are neither complete or stable. Feedback early in development helps saving a lot of time. We're a small team and need to move fast.
Before you start, make sure you got [Docker](https://store.docker.com/search?type=edition&offering=community) installed on your system. It is available for Mac, Linux and Windows.
Developers can skip this and move on to the [Developer Guide](https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism/wiki/Developer-Guide) in our [Wiki](https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism/wiki).
**Step 1:** Download [docker-compose.yml](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/photoprism/photoprism/master/configs/docker-compose.yml) (right click and *Save Link As...*) to a directory of your choice.
PhotoPrism will also create the following sub-directories in your photo path: `Import`, `Export` and `Originals`. Copy existing photos to `Import`, not directly to `Originals` as they need to be renamed and indexed in order to remove duplicates.
The Web frontend is now available at http://localhost:2342/. The port can be changed in `docker-compose.yml` if needed. Remember to run `docker-compose restart` every time you change the config.
