We use Docker to spin up all required services for Infisical in local development. If you are unfamiliar with Docker, dont worry, all you have to do is install Docker for your
machine and run the command below to start up the development server.

docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up --build --force-recreate
```
#### Access local server
Once all the services have spun up, browse to http://localhost:8080. To sign in, you may use the default credentials listed below.
Email: `test@localhost.local`

#### Shutdown local server
```bash
# To stop environment use Control+C (on Mac) CTRL+C (on Win) or
