We move more and more towards using Vue.js in the frontend, starting with Settings. For building the code on changes, use these terminal commands in the `settings` subfolder:
``` bash
# install dependencies
make dev-setup
# build for development
make build-js
# build for development and watch edits
make watch-js
# build for production with minification
make build-js-production
# clean output files
make clean
```
**When making changes, also commit the compiled files!**
We still use Handlebars templates some places in Files and Settings. We will replace these step-by-step with Vue.js, but in the meantime you need to compile them separately.
If you don’t have Handlebars installed yet, you can do it with this terminal command:
```
sudo npm install -g handlebars
```
Then inside the root folder of your local Nextcloud development installation, run this command in the terminal every time you changed a `.handlebars` file to compile it:

Third-party components are handled as git submodules which have to be initialized first. So aside from the regular git checkout invoking `git submodule update --init` or a similar command is needed, for details see Git documentation.
Several apps that are included by default in regular releases such as [firstrunwizard](https://github.com/nextcloud/firstrunwizard) or [gallery](https://github.com/nextcloud/gallery) are missing in `master` and have to be installed manually.
