## Get started



The easiest way to get started with Metabase is to sign up for a free trial of [Metabase Cloud](https://store.metabase.com/checkout). You get support, backups, upgrades, an SMTP server, SSL certificate, SoC2 Type 2 security auditing, and more (plus your money goes toward improving Metabase). Check out our quick overview of [cloud vs self-hosting](https://www.metabase.com/docs/latest/cloud/cloud-vs-self-hosting). If you need to, you can always switch to [self-hosting](https://www.metabase.com/docs/latest/installation-and-operation/installing-metabase) Metabase at any time (or vice versa).

## Quick Setup: Dev environment



In order to spin up a development environment, you need to start the front end and the backend as follows:



### Frontend quick setup



The following command will install the Javascript dependencies:



```

$ yarn install

```



To build and run without watching changes:



```

$ yarn build

```



To build and run with hot-reload:



```

$ yarn build-hot

```



### Backend  quick setup



In order to run the backend, you'll need to build the drivers first, and then start the backend:



```

$ ./bin/build-drivers.sh

$ clojure -M:run

```



For a more detailed setup of a dev environment for Metabase, check out our [Developers Guide](./docs/developers-guide/start.md).



## Internationalization



We want Metabase to be available in as many languages as possible. See which translations are available and help contribute to internationalization using our project over at [POEditor](https://poeditor.com/join/project/ynjQmwSsGh). You can also check out our [policies on translations](https://www.metabase.com/docs/latest/administration-guide/localization.html).



## Extending Metabase



Hit our Query API from Javascript to integrate analytics. Metabase enables your application to:



- Build moderation interfaces.

- Export subsets of your users to third party marketing automation software.

- Provide a custom customer lookup application for the people in your company.
