This application needs the cedar-14 stack due to some limitations while running nightmare.js more informations on nightmare-heroku

• Node.js >=8.11.4
• PostgreSQL >=9.6 (postgresapp on a mac)
• Redis (brew install redis on mac redis-server to start)
• SMTP server (like mailcatcher: brew install ruby – restart terminal – gem install mailcatcher then mailcatcher)

NB: A compiled version of sharp — which is used to resize images and declared as a dependency — should be fetched automatically by npm for your system environment. In case of troubles see sharp installation instructions.

npm install
npm run dev

Then go to: https://localhost:3000

Mosaico backend has a decent localhost-first default configuration.

We use rc for managing the configuration. See rc documentation for learning how you can override the default configuration

An easy way to start is by a making a copy of .backendrc-example to a .backendrc file and update your configuration here
