# Run Super-Linter locally to test your branch of code
If you want to test locally against the **Super-Linter** to test your branch of code, you will need to complete the following:
- Clone your testing source code to your local environment
- Install Docker to your local environment
- Pull the container down
- Run the container
- Debug/Troubleshoot
## Install Docker to your local machine
You can follow the link below on how to install and configure **Docker** on your local machine
- [Docker Install Documentation](https://docs.docker.com/install/)
## Download the latest Super-Linter Docker container
- Pull the latest **Docker** container down from **DockerHub**
- `docker pull admiralawkbar/super-linter:latest`
Once the container has been downloaded to your local environment, you can then begin the process, or running the container against your codebase.
## Run the container Locally
- You can run the container locally with the following **Base** flags to run your code:
- `docker run -e RUN_LOCAL=true -v /path/to/local/codebase:/tmp/lint admiralawkbar/super-linter`
- To run against a single file you can use: `docker run -e RUN_LOCAL=true -v /path/to/local/codebase/file:/tmp/lint/file admiralawkbar/super-linter`
- **NOTE:** You need to pass the `RUN_LOCAL` flag to bypass some of the GitHub Actions checks, as well as the mapping of your local codebase to `/tmp/lint` so that the linter can pick up the code
- **NOTE:** The flag:`RUN_LOCAL` will set: `VALIDATE_ALL_CODEBASE` to true. This means it will scan **all** the files in the directory you have mapped. If you want to only validate a subset of your codebase, map a folder with only the files you wish to have linted
### Flags for running Locally
You can add as many **Additional** flags as needed:

| **ACTIONS_RUNNER_DEBUG** | `-e ACTIONS_RUNNER_DEBUG=<true\|false>` | `false` | Flag to enable or disable additional debug info |
## Troubleshooting
### Run container and gain access to the command line
If you need to run the container locally and gain access to its command line, you can run the following command:
- `docker run -it --entrypoint /bin/bash admiralawkbar/super-linter`
- This will drop you in the command line of the docker container for any testing or troubleshooting that may be needed.
