# Local Setup of API Maker > Run API Maker on your own machine for development with API Maker Local Run, the desktop app for macOS, Windows and Linux - with the download of every platform. Source: https://docs.apimaker.dev/v1/docs/getting-started/local-setup.html A local API Maker is the place to build and test APIs before they reach a server : your own admin panel, your own databases, and your code in your editor. **API Maker Local Run** sets it up for you : a desktop app for macOS, Windows and Linux which needs Docker on your computer, and the same app later deploys to your servers. ## API Maker Local Run The desktop app installs API Maker from npm on a Node.js runtime it downloads and verifies, starts MongoDB and Redis in Docker, runs the admin panel and shows you the URLs and the sign-in details. Pick a folder, press **Start**, and your API Maker is running. **macOS** 13 Ventura or later · Apple silicon and Intel Universal · [Disk image **.dmg**](https://images.apimaker.dev/prod/api_maker_local/1.0.0/API-Maker-Local-Run-1.0.0-macos-universal.dmg) · [Zip **.zip**](https://images.apimaker.dev/prod/api_maker_local/1.0.0/API-Maker-Local-Run-1.0.0-macos-universal.zip) Open the .dmg and drag the app to Applications. **Windows** Windows 10 and 11 x64 · [Installer **.exe**](https://images.apimaker.dev/prod/api_maker_local/1.0.0/API-Maker-Local-Run-1.0.0-windows-amd64-setup.exe) · [Portable **.zip**](https://images.apimaker.dev/prod/api_maker_local/1.0.0/API-Maker-Local-Run-1.0.0-windows-amd64.zip) ARM64 · [Installer **.exe**](https://images.apimaker.dev/prod/api_maker_local/1.0.0/API-Maker-Local-Run-1.0.0-windows-arm64-setup.exe) · [Portable **.zip**](https://images.apimaker.dev/prod/api_maker_local/1.0.0/API-Maker-Local-Run-1.0.0-windows-arm64.zip) Installs for your user, no administrator rights needed. **Linux** Ubuntu 22.04+, Debian 12+, Fedora 39+ x64 · [Debian, Ubuntu **.deb**](https://images.apimaker.dev/prod/api_maker_local/1.0.0/api-maker-local-run_1.0.0_amd64.deb) · [Any distro **.tar.gz**](https://images.apimaker.dev/prod/api_maker_local/1.0.0/API-Maker-Local-Run-1.0.0-linux-amd64.tar.gz) ARM64 · [Debian, Ubuntu **.deb**](https://images.apimaker.dev/prod/api_maker_local/1.0.0/api-maker-local-run_1.0.0_arm64.deb) · [Any distro **.tar.gz**](https://images.apimaker.dev/prod/api_maker_local/1.0.0/API-Maker-Local-Run-1.0.0-linux-arm64.tar.gz) Needs GTK 3 and WebKitGTK 4.1 ; the .deb installs them. Version 1.0.0 · the SHA-256 checksum of every file and the install steps are on [apimaker.dev/download](https://apimaker.dev/download) - **Databases in a few clicks** : MongoDB, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, SQL Server, Oracle, TiDB and Percona Server, several of each, with the API Maker instance created in one click. - **Your code in your editor** : the Local Client page keeps a folder in sync with API Maker both ways, for VS Code, WebStorm, Zed or any editor. - **Projects side by side** : every project runs on its own ports, in its own folder. - **Ready for production** : the **Cloud** tab of the same app deploys API Maker to your servers.
