 - `yarn install`
 - `yarn start`

+## Accessing remote APIs
+
+To be able to log in on a local environment with your production credentials, you'll need to make the browser believe you're actually on the same domain, otherwise browser will block the session cookie.
+
+To do the trick, edit your `/etc/hosts` file and add a record like this:
+
+```
+127.0.0.1 local.skynetpro.net
+```
+
+then run `yarn secure` -- it will run `gatsby develop` with `--https --host=local.skynetpro.net -p=443` options.
+If you're on macOS, you may need to `sudo` the command to successfully bind to port `443`.
+
+> **NOTE:** This should become easier once we have a docker image for the new dashboard.
