Setup mode allows you to iterate faster with your system setup in the Antithesis webapp. It provides a setup assistant that streams your build and setup logs. You can edit your config files and rerun setup until you're ready to launch a full test.

## How to launch setup mode

To access setup mode, go to **Test launchers** in the web app. Select the test you want to launch and check the **Setup mode** box:

Select **Launch the setup run**. This launches your test in a **Setup assistant** that shows you your build logs and then your setup logs as they stream in:

If you see something that looks incorrect, select the **Update configuration, and re-run** button. This lets you update any files in your config image, and then re-run your setup:

These files will include `docker-compose.yaml` file if you use Docker Compose, and your manifest files if you use Kubernetes.

Once you reach the setup complete signal, the setup assistant will stop streaming logs:

You can then select **Launch a new test run** to launch a full test run in Antithesis.
