You need at least 3GB RAM available to run MapComplete, but you'll preferably have 8GB of free RAM available.
For Windows you can use the devcontainer, or the WSL subsystem.
To use the devcontainer in Visual Studio Code:
0. Make sure you have installed
the [Remote - Containers](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ms-vscode-remote.remote-containers)
extension and it's dependencies.
1. Make a fork and clone the repository.
2. After cloning, Visual Studio Code will ask you if you want to use the devcontainer.
3. Then you can either clone it again in a volume (for better performance), or open the current folder in a container.
4. By now, you should be able to run `npm run start` to host a local testversion at http://localhost:1234/index.html
