 1. Clone the [conda-store-ui](https://github.com/conda-incubator/conda-store-ui.git) repository.
 2. Copy `.env.example` to `.env`. All default settings should work, but if you want to test against a different version of conda-store-server, you can specify if in the `.env` file by setting the `CONDA_STORE_SERVER_VERSION` variable to the desired version. Refer to the [Configuration documentation](https://conda-incubator.github.io/conda-store-ui/?path=/docs/docs-configuration--page) for more information on the `.env` file.
