# Development

Copy the `credentials.json` file into the git repo root directory. This file can be changed to configure a local development installation:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell
|
||||
cp ./res/credentials.json .

## Install Node.js (Mac OS)
|
||||
|
||||
This is how to install node on Mac OS using [homebrew](http://brew.sh/). For other operating systems, please refer to the [Node.js download page](https://nodejs.org/en/download/).

## Setup SMTP user

|

The key server uses [nodemailer](https://nodemailer.com) to send out emails upon public key upload to verify email address ownership. To test this feature locally, open the `credentials.json` file and change the `smtp.user` and `smtp.pass` attributes to your Gmail test account. Make sure that `smtp.user` and `sender.email` match. Otherwise the Gmail SMTP server will block any emails you try to send. Also, make sure to enable `Allow less secure apps` in the [Gmail security settings](https://myaccount.google.com/security#connectedapps). You can read more on this in the [Nodemailer documentation](https://nodemailer.com/using-gmail/).
