Open MCT (Open Mission Control Technologies) is a next-generation mission control framework for visualization of data on desktop and mobile devices. It is developed at NASA's Ames Research Center, and is being used by NASA for data analysis of spacecraft missions, as well as planning and operation of experimental rover systems. As a generalizable and open source framework, Open MCT could be used as the basis for building applications for planning, operation, and analysis of any systems producing telemetry data.

## Building and Running Open MCT Locally

Building and running Open MCT in your local dev environment is very easy. Be sure you have [Git](https://git-scm.com/downloads) and [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/) installed, then follow the directions below. Need additional information? Check out the [Getting Started](https://nasa.github.io/openmct/getting-started/) page on our website.
(These instructions assume you are installing as a non-root user; developers have [reported issues](https://github.com/nasa/openmct/issues/1151) running these steps with root privileges.)

1. Clone the source code:

```sh
git clone https://github.com/nasa/openmct.git
```

2. (Optional) Install the correct node version using [nvm](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm):

```sh
nvm install
```

3. Install development dependencies (Note: Check the `package.json` engine for our tested and supported node versions):

```sh
npm install
```

4. Run a local development server:

```
npm start
```

> [!IMPORTANT]
> Open MCT is now running, and can be accessed by pointing a web browser at [http://localhost:8080/](http://localhost:8080/)

Open MCT is built using [`npm`](http://npmjs.com/) and [`webpack`](https://webpack.js.org/).
