# Run Squid Locally

> Run a squid processor and GraphQL server locally with sqd run — load env vars, apply migrations, and exercise the indexer end-to-end before deployment.

# `sqd run`

Run a squid locally according to the [deployment manifest](/en/cloud/reference/manifest).

* [sqd run PATH](#sqd-run-path)

Notes:

* The command is especially useful for running [multichain squids](/en/sdk/squid-sdk/resources/multichain), as it runs all services in the same terminal and handles failures gracefully.

## `sqd run PATH`

Run a squid project locally

```
