Follow these steps to set up Documenso on your local machine:
<Steps>
### Fork Documenso
Fork the [Documenso repository](https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/working-with-forks/about-forks) to your GitHub account.
### Clone Repository
After forking the repository, clone it to your local device by using the following command:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/documenso
```
### Install Dependencies

### Set Up Environment Variables
Set up the following environment variables in the `.env` file:
```bash

```
Alternatively, you can run `cp .env.example .env` to get started with our handpicked defaults.
