Hi Maksadbek, We are working on some new install instructions, including developer instructions. We don’t have specific Debian instructions. However it should be similar to the setup instructions found here: [https://github.com/mattermost/platform/blob/master/scripts/README\_DEV.md](https://github.com/mattermost/platform/blob/master/scripts/README_DEV.md) The only thing to note is on linux you do not need to use boot2docker. You should follow the docker install instructions found here: [https://docs.docker.com/installation/debian/](https://docs.docker.com/installation/debian/) Then add a line to your /etc/hosts that goes 127.0.0.1 dockerhost because your dockerhost is your local machine. Let me know if you run into any troubles. Christopher ---
