+For the REST API you can see the documentation in [/support/doc/api](/support/doc/api) directory.
+Then, you can just open the `openapi.yaml` file in a special editor like [http://editor.swagger.io/](http://editor.swagger.io/) to easily see and edit the documentation.
+
+Some hints:
+ * Routes are defined in [/server/controllers/](/server/controllers/) directory
+ * Parameters validators are defined in [/server/middlewares/validators](/server/middlewares/validators) directory
+ * Models sent/received by the controllers are defined in [/shared/models](/shared/models) directory

+Create a PostgreSQL user **with the same name as your username** in order to avoid using the *postgres* user.
+Then, we can create the databases (if they don't already exist):
+
+```
+$ sudo -u postgres createuser you_username --createdb
+$ createdb -O peertube peertube_test{1,2,3}

+Build the application and flush the old tests data:

+```
+$ npm run build
 $ npm run clean:server:test

+This will run 3 nodes:

 Then you will get access to the three nodes at `http://localhost:900{1,2,3}`
 with the `root` as username and `test{1,2,3}` for the password.
