Point to a local edx-platform
-----------------------------
If you have one, you can point to a local version of `edx-platform <https://github.com/edx/edx-platform/>`_ on your host machine. To do so, pass a ``-P/--edx-platform-path`` option to the commands. For instance::

Prepare the edx-platform repo
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In order to run a fork of edx-platform, dependencies need to be properly installed and assets compiled in that repo. To do so, run::
tutor dev run --edx-platform-path=/path/to/edx-platform lms npm install
tutor dev run --edx-platform-path=/path/to/edx-platform lms python setup.py
tutor dev run --edx-platform-path=/path/to/edx-platform lms openedx-assets build
