### Step #1: Clone the Github repository on your computer <a href="#step-1-clone-the-github-repository-on-your-computer" id="step-1-clone-the-github-repository-on-your-computer"></a>

By opening your Command Line Interface, you can run the following commands to, first, clone the repository, then go inside the newly copied folder:

```
1 git clone https://github.com/tornadocashdev/ui-minified.git
2 cd ui-minified
```

### Step #2: Serve the Folder with Your Favorite HTTP Server <a href="#step-2-serve-the-folder-with-your-favorite-http-server" id="step-2-serve-the-folder-with-your-favorite-http-server"></a>

```
1 python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8080
```

You can obviously use any other http web server, such as[ npmjs.com/package/http-server](https://www.npmjs.com/package/http-server).

### Step #3: Run the UI on Localhost on your Favorite Web Browser <a href="#step-3-run-the-ui-on-localhost-on-your-favorite-web-browser" id="step-3-run-the-ui-on-localhost-on-your-favorite-web-browser"></a>

To finish, you just need to run <http://localhost:8080> on your Web Browser & let the magic happens 🪄

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.tornadoeth.cash/generals/minified-ui-hosted-locally.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
