# Set up live traces

For full instructions, see [Traces](/get-started/traces). Short version:

* For local SigNoz, clone `agents-optional-local-dev` and run `docker-compose --profile signoz up -d`.
* Set `SIGNOZ_URL`, `SIGNOZ_API_KEY`, and `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_TRACES_ENDPOINT` in the root `.env` (see `.env.example`).
* Restart `pnpm dev`, then open `http://localhost:3080` to view traces.
