## Making changes in the Go code
|
||||
|

PocketBase is distributed as a Go package, which means that in order to run the project you'll have to create a Go `main` program that imports the package.
|
||||
|
||||
The repository already includes such program, located in `/examples/base`, that is also used for the prebuilt executables.

You could open the browser and access the running Admin UI at `http://localhost:3000`.
|

|

Since the Admin UI is just a client-side application, you need to have the PocketBase backend server also running in the background (either manually running the `examples/base/main.go` or download a prebuilt executable).
|
||||
|
||||
> [!NOTE]
|
||||
> By default, the Admin UI is expecting the backend server to be started at `http://localhost:8090`, but you could change that by creating a new `ui/.env.development.local` file with `PB_BACKEND_URL = YOUR_ADDRESS` variable inside it.
|
||||
|
||||
Every change you make in the Admin UI should be automatically reflected in the browser at `http://localhost:3000` without reloading the page.
