Hello @GuillaumeGautreau.  
I also can’t create my development environment on my local machine (as I wasn’t the creator of the forestadmin projet to begin with, i don’t have a development environment at the moment).

The project name is HOLIVIA

I have run the `forest init` command. Copy/paste the environment variables inside my .env file.

There is the output of the command `forest init`

```javascript
Selecting your project
√ Analyzing your setup
√ Checking your database setup
√ Setting up your development environment
> Here are the environment variables you need to copy in your configuration file:
APPLICATION_PORT=5000
FOREST_AUTH_SECRET=
FOREST_ENV_SECRET=

> Automatically copied to your clipboard!
√ You're now set up and ready to develop on Forest Admin
> To learn more about the recommended usage of this CLI, please visit https://docs.forestadmin.com/documentation/reference-guide/how-it-works/developing-on-forest-admin/forest-cli-commands.

```

I still can’t see the development environment on my forestadmin account.

My APPLICATION\_PORT is 5000 as I display my environment on localhost:5000

Do you have any tips on how to redo the all procedure again ?

Thanks by advance for your feedback

Hi @elviajero971

Can you provide me the logs of your development agent when it starts?

Just to summarize

- Retrieve the code from a coworker (or your favorite versioning tool)
- Perform the steps that you have shown in your thread
- Copy the env variables in the .env file of the agent code
- Start the server locally
