# What is watsonx Orchestrate Developer Edition?

watsonx Orchestrate Developer Edition runs as a local server on your computer, giving you a dedicated development environment. The ADK includes commands that help you manage this local setup.

You can install two main components:

* **watsonx Orchestrate Developer Edition: watsonx Orchestrate server**

  This is a local version of watsonx Orchestrate that runs on `http://localhost:4321`. It includes its own UI, API endpoints, and optional services—such as Langfuse—that you can enable to build your agents.

* **watsonx Orchestrate Developer Edition: Orchestrate copilot server**

  This is the Orchestrate copilot assistant that helps you build and refine agents and tools. You can interact with it using the `orchestrate copilot` commands or through the Orchestrate copilot extension.

watsonx Orchestrate Developer Edition runs inside a Docker container. To use it, you need to install Docker Engine on your machine and configure a .env file with the required authentication variables to pull the container images.
