makeAnySee Windows note below
Windows: installing makeWindows does not include make by default. Install it via Chocolatey:
choco install make
Or via Scoop:
scoop install make
Alternatively, open the Makefile and run the underlying docker compose commands directly — the Makefile has comments showing the full command for each target.

​
External services

These services are used by AspFox. All have free tiers sufficient for local development.
ServiceRequired forFree tier
StripeBilling featuresYes — test mode is fully free
ResendTransactional emailYes — 100 emails/day
Google Cloud ConsoleGoogle OAuthYes
GitHub OAuth AppsGitHub OAuthYes
Stripe and Resend are optional for initial local development. The application starts and runs without them. Auth, multi-tenancy, and RBAC all work fully. Billing endpoints will return configuration errors, and emails will not send, but you can develop and test everything else without these services configured.

​
Verify your setup

Run these commands to confirm the required tools are installed: 
dotnet --version    # Should print 8.0.x or higher
node --version      # Should print v20.x or higher
docker --version    # Should print Docker version 24.x or higher
docker compose version  # Should print v2.x
make --version      # Should print GNU Make 4.x
If any of these fail, install the missing tool before proceeding to the quickstart.
