# Local Development - create a local app instance

Use these instructions if you need to run a local instance of your application inside Bridge. 

Completing the steps below requires access to the [Bridge Developer Dashboard](https://developer.bridge.arrowhealth.io/). To get access, reach out to your Arrowhealth Bridge representative.

1. Log in to the [Bridge Developer Dashboard](https://developer.bridge.arrowhealth.io/).
2. On the landing page, click "+ New Application". You will need the Panel URL and Tile URL to create your localhost app.
3. In the Distribution tab of your new application, you can assign the app to an email address you wish to use for testing. This email address is now provisioned for the localhost app. 
     1. This email address must have a verified Bridge account (completed during initial setup and EHR login). The EHR credentials linked to that Bridge account will display your localhost app. [Click here](https://guides.arrowhealth.io/knowledge-base/bridge-installation-instructions?hsLang=en) for help with initial Bridge setup and email verification.
4. Localhost app is ready for testing.
