I’m new at Baserow. I’d like to run Baserow in dev mode and I used this link to do so. > [@Cannot run the app in dev mode](https://community.baserow.io/t/cannot-run-the-app-in-dev-mode/413): > > I’d like to run Baserow in dev mode. So, I did ./dev.sh, and this is what I keep getting: baserow % ./dev.sh ./dev.sh running docker-compose commands: ‘[’ false = true ‘]’ ‘[’ false = true ‘]’ ‘[’ false = true ‘]’ ‘[’ false = true ‘]’ ‘[’ true = true ‘]’ docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.dev.yml up -d Traceback (most recent call last): File “urllib3/connectionpool.py”, line 426, in \_make\_request File “”, line 3, in raise\_from File “urllib3/connectionpool.py”, line 4… But, it could not connect the ‘db’ postgres and there was an error message as following picture. ![image](https://community.baserow.io/uploads/default/original/2X/b/bb9147f6950045de913613be698e1f41dddd178c.png) so, I have no idea what to do. ---

Hi @abdolsattar, thanks for reaching out. From the error, it seems your db password is not correct. Regards, Bruno ---

You can find where to set env vars in documentation: [https://baserow.io/docs/installation%2Finstall-with-docker-compose](https://baserow.io/docs/installation%2Finstall-with-docker-compose) ---

How do you run it? What environment variables have you configured? Do you use Linux subsystem for Windows? ---

Hi @petrs, thanks for your reply. initially, I wanted to run dev through this command ./dev.sh and I got the error message like “find: The argument to -user should not be empty”. Then I used this link [Cannot run the app in dev mode](https://community.baserow.io/t/cannot-run-the-app-in-dev-mode/413) and by using this command cp .env.example .env the below environment variables were set: SECRET\_KEY=baserow DATABASE\_PASSWORD=baserow REDIS\_PASSWORD=baserow BASEROW\_PUBLIC\_URL=http://localhost BASEROW\_CADDY\_ADDRESSES=:80 WEB\_FRONTEND\_PORT=80 HOST\_PUBLISH\_IP=0.0.0.0 EMAIL\_SMTP= EMAIL\_SMTP\_HOST= EMAIL\_SMTP\_PORT= EMAIL\_SMTP\_USE\_TLS= EMAIL\_SMTP\_USER= EMAIL\_SMTP\_PASSWORD= FROM\_EMAIL=no-reply@localhost After that I used this command: docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.dev.yml up --build but the above figure error was shown. My struggling is what the database password is? I mean how should I set it? thanks.
