To run Appsmith on WindowsOS, you need to set up WSL. Please follow the instructions in the below link to set up WSL:

appsmithorg/appsmith/blob/master/contributions/ClientSetup.md#windows-wsl2-setup

## Running Client Codebase

Appsmith's client (UI/frontend) uses the ReactJS library and Typescript. The application also uses libraries like react-redux and redux-saga for workflows. We use VS Code Editor as our primary editor.

### Pre-requisites:

On your development machine, please ensure that:

1. You have `docker` installed in your system. If not, please visit: [https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/)
1. You have `mkcert` installed. Please visit: [https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert#installation](https://github.com/FiloSottile/mkcert#installation) for details. For `mkcert` to work with Firefox, you may need to install the `nss` utility. Details are in the link above.

Note:

- On Linux, you can easily install `mkcert` using the following command

```
curl -s https://api.github.com/repos/FiloSottile/mkcert/releases/latest \
| grep "browser_download_url.*linux-amd64" \
