# Backend guide #
This guide intends to explain the essential details of the backend
application.
This guide collects some basic information on the backend application.
## REPL ##
In the devenv environment you can execute <code class="language-clojure">scripts/repl</code> to open a
Clojure interactive shell ([REPL](https://codewith.mu/en/tutorials/1.0/repl)).
_Note:_ When in development mode, the backend spins up a traditional nREPL socket on port 6064.
If you are experimenting locally, you can connect to it using your Clojure editor or
with `backend/scripts/nrepl`, which starts a [REPLy client](https://github.com/trptcolin/reply),
[see here][1] for more information.

In the devenv environment you can execute `backend/scripts/repl` to open a
Clojure interactive shell ([REPL](https://codewith.mu/en/tutorials/1.0/repl)) (this is not a socket-based
REPL, but a local, in-process console (over stdin/stdout) with some fancy line-editing and colors). Note
that the backend must be stopped before executing this script, otherwise it will fail with `Port already
in use: 9090`.
Once there, you can execute <code class="language-clojure">(restart)</code> to load and execute the backend
process, or to reload it after making changes to the source code.
