First, you need a Captain instance running in debug mode, this can be a remote server, a VM on your local machine,
or your local machine itself. Needless to say, Docker is required (same minimum version as mentioned in README)

### front end development:
First, you simply run the debug build for the backend service as explained above.
Then go to `app-frontend` and run `yarn` followed by `yarn start`. Frontend app is based on CreateReactApp.
Change the endpoint for the backend server to your debug instance by editing this file:
`ApiManager.ts`
See https://github.com/caprover/caprover-frontend
### CLI development:
Just simply install dependencies in `app-cli` directory by running `npm install` and you are good to go!
See https://github.com/caprover/caprover-cli
### Backend development:
Start the debug build for the backend service as explained above. To see any changes you make,
first save the changes, then you need to restart the service either by sending a request to `/force-exit` endpoint,
or by running `./dev-reset-service.sh` script which is available in `app-backend` directory.
or by running `npm run dev`.
