# Streamplace Desktop ## `pnpm run start` Boot up Streamplace Desktop for development. Two environment variable options: - `AQD_SKIP_NODE`: (default `false`): Skip booting up an Streamplace node from within the app so you can just test the app against the node you're already running locally. - `AQD_NODE_FRONTEND`: (default `false`): Use frontend bundled with the Streamplace node instead of the dev server on `http://localhost:8081`.
