sure, you’ll want to install your own copy somewhere so you can have a test environment, [http://www.open-emr.org/wiki/index.php/OpenEMR\_Downloads](http://www.open-emr.org/wiki/index.php/OpenEMR_Downloads)

and then checkout your own code by forking [github.com/openemr](http://github.com/openemr)

there’s also a docker solution thanks to Matthew, [Looking for beta testers of the new Local Development Docker solution](https://community.open-emr.org/t/looking-for-beta-testers-of-the-new-local-development-docker-solution/9393)
