Welcome to Meta.
Normally you’d run a _development_ install locally:
[https://meta.discourse.org/tags/intersection/how-to/dev-install](https://meta.discourse.org/tags/intersection/how-to/dev-install)
Running Production locally and without docker is not supported.

Thanks for your quick response.
So for production we need to go with docker ?

you can do what you feel like, but getting support for other setups is going to be tricky unless you want to pay someone 🙂
There’s a fun project here using a cloudfare tunnel for running Discourse locally on a raspberry pi, which you might be able to replicate on WSL2 … but both in Docker.

> A long standing feature request from our community is finally here! As of today, you are able to host a complete Discourse instance in a $35 Raspberry Pi. You can go ahead and follow our [official install guide](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/tree/main/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md), and it will work out of the box in any recent Raspberry Pi model. This is a companion discussion topic for the original entry at [https://blog.discourse.org/2021/12/2021-12-07-discourse-on-a-raspberry-pi/](https://blog.discourse.org/2021/12/2021-12-07-discourse-on-a-raspberry-pi/)

Our supported install for production is documented here: [discourse/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md at main · discourse/discourse · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/main/docs/INSTALL-cloud.md).
For development, use [Topics tagged how-to & dev-install](https://meta.discourse.org/tags/intersection/how-to/dev-install) as Robert said.

@rishabh thanks for your response.
I see, I’ve setup using docker but, I need to make some changes into rails code so how I can do this for production env?

[Build a plugin.](https://meta.discourse.org/t/developing-discourse-plugins-part-1-create-a-basic-plugin/30515)
Or if changes are just front end, [a theme component](https://meta.discourse.org/t/beginners-guide-to-developing-discourse-themes/93648).
