-16. (extra step) The steps above will get Freesound running, but to save resources in your local machine some non-essential services will not be started by default. If you look at the `docker compose.yml` file, you'll see that some services are marked with the profile `analyzers` or `all`. These services include sound similarity, search results clustering and the audio analyzers. To run these services you need to explicitly tell `docker compose` using the `--profile` (note that some services need additional configuration steps (see *Freesound analysis pipeline* section in `DEVELOPERS.md`):
