-[configure node to use your self-signed certificate](https://bitwarden.com/help/article/cli/#using-self-signed-certificates).
+By default, this will use the official Bitwarden servers. If you need to develop with Server running
+locally, follow the instructions below in Environment setup.
+
+## Environment setup
+
+### Configure Node to trust development certificates
+
+A quick way to do this is to give Node access to your system certificates:
+
+```bash
+export NODE_USE_SYSTEM_CA=1
+```
+
+Alternatively, you can add the certificate directly to Node:
+
+```bash
+export NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS=/path/to/your-certificate.pem
+```
+
+### Target local Server instance
+
+If you are running the Bitwarden Web application locally, you only need to set the base server
+location. The web application proxies API requests to your local Server APIs.
+
+Run the following when you have Web running locally:
+
+```bash
+node build/bw.js config server https://localhost:8080
+```
+
+Otherwise, you need to set the individual Server API locations as follows:
+
+```bash
+node build/bw.js config server \
+  --api http://localhost:4000 \
+  --identity http://localhost:33656
+```
