+# Development: Getting Started
+
+After reading through the [Code Contributions Guide](http://127.0.0.1:8000/contributors/developers-guide/code-contributions/) and forking the repo you can start working. This project is developed with :whale: docker and as such you will be greatly aided by using docker for development. It's not necessary but it is helpful.
+
+## With Docker
+There are 2 scripts to help set up your development environment in dev/scripts/. 
+
+`docker-compose.dev.sh` - Will spin up a docker development server
+`docker-compose.sh` - Will spin up a docker production server
+
+There are VSCode tasks created in the .vscode folder. You can use these to quickly execute the scripts above using the command palette.
+
+
+## Without Docker
+?? TODO
+
+## Trouble Shooting
+
+!!! Error "Symptom: Vue Development Server Wont Start"
+    **Error:** `TypeError: Cannot read property 'upgrade' of undefined`
+
+    **Solution:** You may be missing the `/frontend/.env.development.` The contents should be `VUE_APP_API_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:9921`. This is a reference to proxy the the API requests from Vue to 127.0.0.1 at port 9921 where FastAPI should be running.
+
+!!! Error "Symptom: FastAPI Development Server Wont Start"
+    **Error:** `RuntimeError: Directory '/app/dist' does not exist`
+
+    **Solution:** Create an empty /mealie/dist directory. This directory is served as static content by FastAPI. It is provided during the build process and may be missing in development.
