Run anki from source

Hi, I’m following the add-on writing guide, and I it’s missing a step. At the end of Editor Setup section, it says:

Please note that you can not run your add-on from within PyCharm - you will get errors. Add-ons need to be run from within Anki, which is covered in the A Basic Add-on section.

But in the A Basic Addon section, it assumes you’ve already got anki running locally:

Restart Anki, and you should find a ‘test’ item in the tools menu. Running it will display a dialog with the card count.

I can’t find instructions on how to actually run anki locally.

No need to run from source for testing add-ons. You just need to install/copy the add-on into the add-ons folder then run Anki normally: Add-on Folders - Writing Anki Add-ons
