Website development environment

If you want to only make changes to the website, you only need node.

Prerequisites​

  • Node (any recent version should work, we use 18.x to build)
  • Make (again, any recent version should work)
info

Depending on platform, some native dependencies might be required. On macOS, run brew install node@18

Instructions​

  1. Clone the git repo from https://github.com/goauthentik/authentik
  2. Run make website-install to install the website development dependencies
  3. Run website-watch to start a development server to see and preview your changes
  4. Finally when you're about to commit your changes, run make website to run the linter and auto-formatter.
