You do not need MongoDB running locally in this case. ## Details -When running the dev environment as a proxy, all non-static file requests are proxied to CodeCombat's production servers. While the changes to the server will not be reflected while running the dev environment as a proxy, you can still test new or changed pages. You may log into your live account and see how things look without copying data over to your local mongodb. You don't even need to have mongodb running or installed to run the proxy! \ No newline at end of file +When running the dev environment as a proxy, all non-static file requests are proxied to CodeCombat's production servers.
