Getting Meshery locally using Docker Desktop for Meshery UI contribution

Hello, please I am having issues getting Meshery locally on my device so I can start contributing in the meshery UI.

I have installed the docker desktop on my device and meshery extension, I have also starred and forked the repository both Layer5 and meshery/meshery.

My major concern now is how do I proceed from here?

Hello @davidudale please follow these docs for local setup: Contributing to Meshery UI | Meshery
If you need further help please let us know.

I followed the procedures and got these; it is running on localhost:9081/
so how do i make it run on localhost:3000/. I tried make ui from the vscode cmd.

At this point i don’t really know what to do

I encourage you to try using WSL2. There is a contributing page in Meshery Docs dedicated to Windows that will help.

HI @davidudale you can follow these docs for setting up meshery in windows:

You can use WSL2 that’ll be helpful as suggested by @Lee

@davidudale I can see number of issues. Have you first build meshery and ensured all necessary dependencies are installed including make?
See other discuss forum topics , such issues are previously raised.

Yes based on the documentation, I installed make, gcc, wsl2, even the Meshery CLl. the repository is currently on my PC.

Maybe I don’t really get the steps but I would suggest if there is a step by step video tutorial on how to get Meshery locally and start contributing because currently this is a big challenge for me and I believe some might also have some of this issues.
