## Local Setup

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion icon="github" title="Clone the repository">
    ```bash
    git clone https://github.com/supermemoryai/supermemory.git
    cd supermemory
    npm i -g bun
    bun install
    ```
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion icon="database" title="Database Setup">
    To spin up the database locally, use Docker Compose:

    ```bash
    docker-compose up -d
    ```

    This will start a PostgreSQL database with pgvector extension at `localhost:5432`.

    To generate and apply migrations:
    ```bash
    bun run generate-migration
    bun run migrate:local
    ```

    > Note: When coding or making changes, you MUST use the drizzle-orm functions exported from `packages/db` for interacting with the database. Not using them will cause type errors that are hard to debug.
