I wish to run Forem locally in order to see how it works and if it is the right fit for us.

Hey @issam - welcome to forem.dev!

For Forem Self-host, we recommend you follow the self-host guide, and can only offer troubleshooting support for this version of Forem installation.

The installation guide at developers.forem.com is intended for contributing developers, rather than for functioning Forems. You won't have the same experience using a development installation of Forem, and it probably won't give you an accurate reflection of how a cloud-based Forem instance will function.

We recommend using one of the methods described in the self-host guide, and setting your Forem to be a private Forem to test it out.
