# Launch the RAGFlow Service from Source
A guide explaining how to set up a RAGFlow service from its source code. By following this guide, you'll be able to debug using the source code.
## Target Audience
Developers who have added new features or modified existing code and wish to debug using the source code, *provided that* their machine has the target deployment environment set up.
## Prerequisites
- CPU ≥ 4 cores
- RAM ≥ 16 GB
- Disk ≥ 50 GB
- Docker ≥ 24.0.0 & Docker Compose ≥ v2.26.1
:::tip NOTE
If you have not installed Docker on your local machine (Windows, Mac, or Linux), see the [Install Docker Engine](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/) guide.
:::
## Launch the Service from Source
To launch the RAGFlow service from source code:
### Clone the RAGFlow Repository
```bash
git clone https://github.com/infiniflow/ragflow.git
cd ragflow/
```
### Install Python dependencies
1. Install uv:
```bash
pipx install uv
```
2. Install Python dependencies:
- slim:
```bash
uv sync --python 3.10 # install RAGFlow dependent python modules
```
- full:
```bash
uv sync --python 3.10 --all-extras # install RAGFlow dependent python modules
```
*A virtual environment named `.venv` is created, and all Python dependencies are installed into the new environment.*
### Launch Third-party Services
The following command launches the 'base' services (MinIO, Elasticsearch, Redis, and MySQL) using Docker Compose:
```bash
docker compose -f docker/docker-compose-base.yml up -d
```
### Update `host` and `port` Settings for Third-party Services
1. Add the following line to `/etc/hosts` to resolve all hosts specified in **docker/service_conf.yaml.template** to `127.0.0.1`:
```
127.0.0.1 es01 infinity mysql minio redis
```
2. In **docker/service_conf.yaml.template**, update mysql port to `5455` and es port to `1200`, as specified in **docker/.env**.
### Launch the RAGFlow Backend Service
1. Comment out the `nginx` line in **docker/entrypoint.sh**.
```
# /usr/sbin/nginx
```
2. Activate the Python virtual environment:
```bash
source .venv/bin/activate
export PYTHONPATH=$(pwd)
```
3. **Optional:** If you cannot access HuggingFace, set the HF_ENDPOINT environment variable to use a mirror site:
```bash
export HF_ENDPOINT=https://hf-mirror.com
```
4. Run the **entrypoint.sh** script to launch the backend service:
```
bash docker/entrypoint.sh
```
### Launch the RAGFlow frontend service
1. Navigate to the `web` directory and install the frontend dependencies:
```bash
cd web
npm install
```
2. Update `proxy.target` in **.umirc.ts** to `http://127.0.0.1:9380`:
```bash
vim .umirc.ts
```
3. Start up the RAGFlow frontend service:
```bash
npm run dev
```
*The following message appears, showing the IP address and port number of your frontend service:*

### Access the RAGFlow service
In your web browser, enter `http://127.0.0.1:<PORT>/`, ensuring the port number matches that shown in the screenshot above.
### Stop the RAGFlow service when the development is done
1. Stop the RAGFlow frontend service:
```bash
pkill npm
```
2. Stop the RAGFlow backend service:
```bash
pkill -f "docker/entrypoint.sh"
```
