# Locally Hosted Setup
|
||
|
||
This page contains instructions for installing and then setting up the environment to use the locally hosted version of tracing.
|
||
|
||
## Installation
|
||
|
||
1. Ensure you have Docker installed (see [Get Docker](https://docs.docker.com/get-docker/)) and that it’s running.
|
||
2. Install the latest version of `langchain`: `pip install langchain` or `pip install langchain -U` to upgrade your
|
||
existing version.
|
||
3. Run `langchain-server`. This command was installed automatically when you ran the above command (`pip install langchain`).
|
||
1. This will spin up the server in the terminal, hosted on port `4137` by default.
|
||
2. Once you see the terminal
|
||
output `langchain-langchain-frontend-1 | ➜ Local: [http://localhost:4173/](http://localhost:4173/)`, navigate
|
||
to [http://localhost:4173/](http://localhost:4173/)
|
||
|
||
4. You should see a page with your tracing sessions. See the overview page for a walkthrough of the UI.
|
||
|
||
5. Currently, trace data is not guaranteed to be persisted between runs of `langchain-server`. If you want to
|
||
persist your data, you can mount a volume to the Docker container. See the [Docker docs](https://docs.docker.com/storage/volumes/) for more info.
|
||
6. To stop the server, press `Ctrl+C` in the terminal where you ran `langchain-server`.
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Environment Setup
|
||
|
||
After installation, you must now set up your environment to use tracing.
|
||
|
||
This can be done by setting an environment variable in your terminal by running `export LANGCHAIN_HANDLER=langchain`.
|
||
|
||
You can also do this by adding the below snippet to the top of every script. **IMPORTANT:** this must go at the VERY TOP of your script, before you import anything from `langchain`.
|
||
|
||
```python
|
||
import os
|
||
os.environ["LANGCHAIN_HANDLER"] = "langchain"
|
||
```
