# VS Code && Docker installation
If you're working in VS Code, you can also leverage Docker for a containerized dev environment
1. Get the API running, including the Docker network
1. Uncomment the `Local Docker setup` lines in `.env` and comment out the `Local direct setup` lines.
1. Install the Remote-Containers plug-in in VS Code
1. Using the command palette (shift+cmd+p) or green button thingy in the bottom left, search and select “Remote Containers: Open Folder in Container...” When prompted, choose **devcontainer-admin** folder (note: this is a *subfolder* of notifications-admin). This will start the container in a new window, replacing the current one.
1. Wait a few minutes while things happen 🍵
1. Open a VS Code terminal and run the Flask application:
`make run-flask`
1. Go to http://localhost:6012
NOTE: when you change .env in the future, you'll need to rebuild the devcontainer for the change to take effect. VS Code _should_ detect the change and prompt you with a toast notification during a cached build. If not, you can find a manual rebuild in command palette or just `docker rm` the notifications-api container.
