00 • Running a Gatsby Application Locally

Background 📚

Gatsby websites are JavaScript applications and generally have a package.json that defines dependencies and scripts for development. In order to run this particular site you should:

1. Install dependencies by running either: yarn or npm install
2. Run the app locally by running yarn start or npm run start. Those scripts are shorthands for this particular application that run gatsby develop under the hood which kicks-off a local development environment at https://localhost:8000

Exercise 🤓

• Install dependencies
• Run the application locally and visit http://localhost:8000 and http://localhost:8000/___graphql

Note: Changes to the gatsby-config require restarting the server to see them on the site (i.e. CTRL + C and then run npm run start)
