This is the official way to test our development snapshot. We just started working on the UI and features are neither complete or stable. Feedback early in development helps saving a lot of time. We're a small team and need to move fast.
Before you start, make sure you got [Docker](https://store.docker.com/search?type=edition&offering=community) installed on your system. It is available for Mac, Linux and Windows.
Developers can skip this and move on to the [Developer Guide](https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism/wiki/Developer-Guide) in our [Wiki](https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism/wiki).
**Step 1:** Download [docker-compose.yml](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/photoprism/photoprism/master/configs/docker-compose.yml) (right click and *Save Link As...*) to a directory of your choice.
PhotoPrism will also create the following sub-directories in your `Photos` folder: `Import`, `Export` and `Originals`. Copy existing photos to `Import`, not directly to `Originals` as they need to be renamed and indexed in order to remove duplicates.
The Web frontend is now available at http://localhost:2342/. The port can be changed in `docker-compose.yml` if needed. Remember to run `docker-compose restart` every time you change the config.
The best way to get in touch is to write an email to hello@photoprism.org or join our [Telegram](https://t.me/joinchat/B8AmeBAUEugGszzuklsj5w) group. We'd love to hear from you!
