# Authelia Scripts

building the distributed version of Authelia, building the Docker image, running suites,
testing the code, etc...

Those scripts becomes available after sourcing the bootstrap.sh script with

    $ source bootstrap.sh

    $ authelia-scripts --help

For instance, you can build Authelia (Go binary and frontend) with:

    $ authelia-scripts build

Or build the official Docker image with:

    $ authelia-scripts docker build

Or start the *Standalone* suite with:

    $ authelia-scripts suites setup Standalone

You will find more information in the scripts usage helpers.
