+## Running the server manually
+
+If you would like to run the Continue server manually, rather than allowing the VS Code to set it up, you can follow these steps:
+
+1. `git clone https://github.com/continuedev/continue`
+2. `cd continue/continuedev`
+3. Make sure packages are installed with `poetry install`
+ - If poetry is not installed, you can install with
+ ```bash
+ curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python3 -
+ ```
+ (official instructions [here](https://python-poetry.org/docs/#installing-with-the-official-installer))
+4. `poetry shell` to activate the virtual environment
+5. Either:
+
+ a) To run without the debugger: `cd ..` and `python3 -m continuedev.src.continuedev.server.main`
+
+ b) To run with the debugger: Open a VS Code window with `continue` as the root folder. Ensure that you have selected the Python interpreter from virtual environment, then use the `.vscode/launch.json` we have provided to start the debugger.
