# Running a Grouparoo Application

> This is an abbreviated version of the "Grouparoo Installation Guide". [The full version can be found here](https://www.grouparoo.com/docs/installation).

## Run Locally with Node.js

Use the Grouparoo CLI to initialize a new Grouparoo Project:

```bash
# Assuming you have node.js (https://nodejs.org) v12+ installed
npm install -g grouparoo
grouparoo init .
grouparoo config
```

This will generate a `package.json` and `.env` file and launch our Config UI for you to begin configuring your Grouparoo instance.
