### Setting up @grafana/* packages for local development
A known issue with @grafana/* packages is that a lot of times we discover problems on canary channel(see [versioning overview](#Versioning)) when the version was already pushed to npm.
We can easily avoid that by setting up a local packages registry and test the packages before actually publishing to npm.
In this guide you will set up [Verdaccio](https://verdaccio.org/) registry locally to fake npm registry. This will enable testing @grafana/* packages without the need for pushing to master.
#### Setting up local npm registry
From your terminal:
1. Modify `/etc/hosts` file and add the following entry: ```127.0.0.1 grafana-npm.local```
2. Navigate to `devenv/local-npm` directory.
3. Run `docker-compose up`. This will start your local npm registry, available at http://grafana-npm.local:4873/
4. Run `npm login --registry=http://grafana-npm.local:4873 --scope=@grafana` . This will allow you to publish any @grafana/* package into the local registry.
5. Run `npm config set @grafana:registry http://grafana-npm.local:4873`. This will config your npm to install @grafana scoped packages from your local registry.
#### Publishing packages to local npm registry
You need to follow [manual packages release procedure](#manual-release). The only difference is you need to run `yarn packages:publishDev` task in order to publish to you local registry.
From your terminal:
1. Run `yarn packages:prepare`.
2. Commit changes in package.json and lerna.json files
3. Build packages: `yarn packages:build`
4. Run `yarn packages:publishDev`.
5. Navigate to http://grafana-npm.local:4873 and verify that version was published
Locally published packages will be published under `dev` channel, so in your plugin package.json file you can use that channel. For example:
```
// plugin's package.json
{
...
"@grafana/data": "dev"
}
```
