Installation

​

System Requirements

• Python 3.11+
• Node.js 20+
• Docker Desktop (recommended for easiest setup)

​

Installation Methods

​

Using Docker Compose (Recommended)

The easiest way to get started with Mako Code is using Docker Compose:

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/your-org/mako-code.git
cd mako-code

# Build the image
docker-compose build

# Run the application
docker-compose up

​

Using Make (Mac Only)

Alternatively, on Mac systems you can use the provided Makefile:

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/your-org/mako-code.git
cd mako-code

# Setup both frontend and backend dependencies
make setup

# Run the application (both frontend and backend)
make run

To run frontend and backend separately:

make frontend  # Runs frontend server
make backend   # Runs backend server

To clean up dependencies and build artifacts:

make clean

​

Verifying Installation

After installation, the Mako Code interface should be available at:

• Frontend: http://localhost:3000
• Backend API documentation: http://localhost:8001/api/docs
