+
+## Building from Source
+
+Dagu can be built and run locally if you prefer working from source. This is especially helpful for testing new features or contributing back to the project.
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+Make sure you have the following installed on your system:
+
+- [Go 1.23 or later](https://go.dev/doc/install)
+- [Node.js (Latest LTS or Current)](https://nodejs.org/en/download/)
+- [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com/)
+
+### Steps to Build Locally
+
+#### 1. Clone the repository
+
+- Clone the repository to your local machine using Git.
+  ```sh
+  git clone https://github.com/dagu-org/dagu.git
+  cd dagu
+  ```
+
+#### 2. Build the UI
+- Navigate to the `ui` directory.
+  ```sh
+  cd ui
+  ```
+- Install / Update Dependencies
+  ```sh
+  yarn
+  ```
+- Go back to the root directory.
+  ```sh
+  cd ..
+  ```
+- Build the UI
+  ```sh
+  make build-ui
+  ```
+
+#### 3. Build the Binary
+- Build the binary
+  ```sh
+  make build-bin
+  ```
+  This produces the binary in the `.local/bin` directory.
+
+### Run Locally from Source
+
+For a quick test of both server, scheduler, and UI:
+```sh
+# Runs "dagu start-all" with the `go run` command
+make run
+```
+Once the server is running, visit `http://127.0.0.1:8080` to see the Web UI.
