You can customize the port Mintlify runs on by using the `--port` flag. For example, to run Mintlify on port 3333, use this command: + +```bash +mint dev --port 3333 +``` + +If you attempt to run Mintlify on a port that's already in use, it will use the next available port: + +```md +Port 3000 is already in use.

If your local preview does not align with the production version, please update the CLI: + +```bash +npm mint update +``` + +## Validating links + +The CLI can assist with validating links in your documentation.
