Running The Webstudio Project Locally

At a glance

The community member is new to Webstudio and is trying to run the project locally. They followed the steps to clone the repository, install dependencies, and run the development server, but encountered an error related to the @webstudio-is/builder project not being found. Other community members suggested that this could be due to the project using a Unix-style path on a Windows system, and that the recommended approach is to use the cloud builder instead of setting up a local development environment. The community members also discussed the possibility of self-hosting the builder, but indicated that it is not a straightforward process and is not recommended for most users.

Useful resources
Hi team, I'm new to Webstudio and trying to run the project locally. I followed the steps below:

git clone https://github.com/webstudio-is/webstudio.git
cd webstudio
pnpm install
pnpm dev


However, when I run pnpm dev, I get the following error:
PS D:\testing-purpose-webstudio\webstudio> pnpm dev

webstudio-root@0.0.0 dev D:\testing-purpose-webstudio\webstudio
pnpm --filter='@webstudio-is/builder' dev

No projects matched the filters in "D:\testing-purpose-webstudio\webstudio"

It seems like the filter is not matching any project. Am I missing any steps or setup instructions? Would appreciate any guidance to get the dev environment running properly.

@Bogdan is this because @webstudio-is/builder is a unix path and user is on windows?

Honestly no idea. None of us is using windows. We recommend to use cloud builder. Local setup is gonna be improved in the future though.
Self hosted is not recommended ?
@Bogdan can you please confirm the above query ?
It's basically a development environment rather than ready to self host option
You can self-host the builer if you are capable. Its not a 1-click process. To most people here we don't recommend it.
