### You Must Be Willing to Get Your Hands Dirty
It is important to debug something if you had built something that did not work. Possibly you need to run a local sandbox environment. Ubuntu is my local sandbox on which I have PHP, Joomla, and MySQL installed. [00:04:38](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9evJkBTnKxE&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h04m38s) If I have to open a browser, [00:05:04](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9evJkBTnKxE&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h05m04s) I have a few sites here. This is just my own little script that I've dumped into my own server. [00:05:27](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9evJkBTnKxE&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h05m27s) Now I go to Builder.VDM. [00:05:43](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9evJkBTnKxE&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h05m43s) It is loading some of the test displays that I'm working on. If I add administrator to that, it will open the back end, and I can login. So I'm running in a sandbox environment. The advantage of it is that if you don't have any internet involvement, you can work offline as well as add things like XD bug and other script which will help you debug your application. [00:06:07](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9evJkBTnKxE&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h06m07s) We are doing that in off-site environment. It is time consuming, difficult, and expensive.

I've watched it long ago [00:07:24](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9evJkBTnKxE&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h07m24s) and it's been very helpful to get my initial sandbox setup. With time you'd get better and find better ways, but this is a good place to start. [00:07:44](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9evJkBTnKxE&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h07m44s)

### Be Involved On Github
We would also like to involve you on Github. You can go to github.com/vdm-io/joomla-component-builder. If you have any issues, requests, or anything else, please come here. Go to issues and open a new issue. [00:10:12](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9evJkBTnKxE&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h10m12s) I want to be sure you can do that if you've got an account with GitHub. Our discussions would be public so that others can see it and so that we can come back to it in reference.

### Feature Requests
If you want to make a feature request, you can start that feature request here in the issues. If it exist, I'll point it out to you, and if a training is needed, we will add it to this training video set. But if there is a feature request that has started here and you can't wait (because we will create milestones and we'll add feature requests to milestones) and you want to ensure that a feature request ends up being done before anyone else's, then you need to communicate with me at this email, llewellyn@vdm.io, and I can send you a link to to make a donation, or I'll give you an invoice if needed; so we can ensure that that feature request be done before others.
