The --build flag automatically installs any VueJS UI dependencies, bundles the UI into a dist directory, and is served by the Caldera server. You will only have to use the --build flag again if you add any plugins or make any changes to the UI.
The --build flag automatically installs any VueJS UI dependencies, bundles the UI into a dist directory, writes the Magma plugin's `.env` file, and is served by the Caldera server. You will only have to use the --build flag again if you add any plugins or make any changes to the UI.
Once started, log into http://localhost:8888 using the default credentials red/admin. Then go into Plugins -> Training and complete the capture-the-flag style training course to learn how to use Caldera.

In some situations the default configuration values can cause the UI to appear unresponsive due to misrouted requests. Modify the `app.frontend.api_base_url` config value and start the server using the --build flag to update the UI's request URL environment variable.

If you prefer to not use the new VueJS UI, revert to Caldera v4.2.0. Correspondingly, do not use the `--build` flag for earlier versions as not required.
