## Setup
Make a copy of the `.env.development.local.example` and omit the .example.
In the new file edit it to reflect your desired printer:
```dotenv
#for your printer with moonraker running on 192.168.0.15
VUE_APP_HOSTNAME=192.168.0.15
```
In moonraker you need to add your local ip at the cors_domains:
```yaml
cors_domains:
    http://<your local ip>:<local port>
```
access the local running dev environment with `http://<your local ip>:<local port>`.
(for example: `http://localhost:8080`)
