# Set Up & Run a Dev/Test Node
This page explains how to set up a minimal local BigchainDB node for development and testing purposes.
The BigchainDB core dev team develops BigchainDB on Ubuntu 14.04 and Fedora 23, so we recommend you use one of those. BigchainDB Server doesn't work on Windows and Mac OS X (unless you use a VM or containers).
First, read through the BigchainDB [CONTRIBUTING.md file](https://github.com/bigchaindb/bigchaindb/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md). It outlines the steps to setup a machine for developing and testing BigchainDB.
