Mac

This guide is recommended for advanced users setting up Formbricks on a Mac machine.

Requirements:

Steps:

Clone the repository and change directory:

git clone https://github.com/formbricks/formbricks && cd formbricks

Setup NodeJS with nvm:
nvm install && nvm use
Install NodeJS packages with pnpm:
pnpm install
Create a development .env file and generate the required secrets:
pnpm dev:setup
Generate the Next.js AGENTS.md file (optional, for AI-assisted development): This step generates an AGENTS.md file at the repository root that provides Next.js documentation context for AI coding assistants (e.g. Cursor, GitHub Copilot). It runs npx @next/codemod agents-md under the hood. Re-run it whenever you upgrade Next.js.
pnpm agents:update
Start the development setup:
pnpm go

Visit http://localhost:3000 to access Formbricks.
