# Running ServerSDK on a local computer (optional)

If desired, follow the steps in this section to run the ServerSDK on a local computer.

1.  Using a command line terminal, open the root directory: `vop_server_sdk/secure-server-reference-app`).

2.  Run $ npm install to install all dependencies.

3.  Run the following commands:

    1.  $ npm run build - This command will take few seconds to compile and build the typescript files. Once successful, the `/dist` folder is created in the root directory.

    2.  Run `$ npm start` to start the server.

        By default, the server will start listening to port 3000. The base API URL will be: http://localhost:3000/v1/serversdk

    To test whether the API is working, navigate to `http://localhost:3000/v1/serversdk/getcurrencydetail` in a browser. The default currency details are displayed, as shown here:

    **note:** Ensure that you comment out the lines in `vop_server_sdk/secure-server-reference-app/app.ts` . These settings are required only when you host using a third-party server such as Heroku.
