You'll need to set up a development environment if you want to develop a new feature or component for Home Assistant. Read on to learn how to set up.
## Preparing your environment
# Developing with Visual Studio Code + devcontainer
The easiest way to get started with development is to use Visual Studio Code with devcontainers. This approach will create a preconfigured development environment with all the tools you need. This approach is enabled for all Home Assistant repositories.
**Prerequisites**
- [git](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git)
- [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/install/) (Windows only: requires Windows Pro)
- [Visual Studio code](https://code.visualstudio.com/)
- [Remote - Containers (VSC Extension)][extension-link]
[More info about requirements and devcontainer in general](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/remote/containers#_getting-started)
[extension-link]: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-containers
**Getting started:**
1. Fork the repository.
2. Clone the repository to your computer.
3. Open the repository using Visual Studio code.
When you open this repository with Visual Studio code you are asked to "Reopen in Container", this will start the build of the container.
_If you don't see this notification, open the command pallet and select `Remote-Containers: Reopen Folder in Container`._
## Tasks
The devcontainter comes with some useful tasks to help you with development, you can start these tasks by opening the command pallet and select `Tasks: Run Task` then select the task you want to run.
When a task is currently running (like `Preview` for the docs), it can be restarted by opening the command pallet and selecting `Tasks: Restart Running Task`, then select the task you want to restart.
# Preparing your environment
It is also possible to set up a more traditional development environment. See the section for your operating system.

_If you get `command 'remote-containers.reopenInContainer' not found` make sure to use a Visual Studio code version with remote container support enabled._
