# Federation Development
## Setup
If you don't have a local clone of the Lemmy repo yet, just run the following command:
```bash
git clone https://yerbamate.dev/nutomic/lemmy.git -b federation
```
If you already have the Lemmy repo cloned, you need to add a new remote:
```bash
git remote add federation https://yerbamate.dev/nutomic/lemmy.git
git checkout federation
git pull federation federation
```
## Running
You need to have the following packages installed, the Docker service needs to be running.
- docker
- docker-compose
- cargo
- yarn
Then run the following
```bash
cd dev/federation-test
./run-federation-test.bash
```
After the build is finished and the docker-compose setup is running, open [127.0.0.1:8540](http://127.0.0.1:8540) and
[127.0.0.1:8541](http://127.0.0.1:8541) in your browser to use the test instances. You can login as admin with
username `lemmy` and password `lemmy`, or create new accounts.
