# Editing OMERO.web

If you need to make changes to OMERO.web itself, then you can perform a developer install of `omero-web`. You need to be within a virtual environment with `omero-py` installed as described at OMERO Python language bindings. Then:

    $ git clone https://github.com/ome/omero-web.git
    $ cd omero-web
    $ pip install -e .

This will allow you to edit and run the source code without a build step.

You can then run OMERO.web as described at OMERO.web installation for developers. You may need to restart the web server after saving changes, particularly for python files, before refreshing the browser.
