 NOTE: To test SCEvents together with the frontend, you'll need to run Clark separately [following the instructions here](https://github.com/SCE-Development/Clark/wiki/Getting-Started)
 
+### 3. Point Clark at your local SCEvents server
+
+If you want Clark to talk to a locally running SCEvents instance, update Clark's config so the SCEvents base URL points to port `8002`.
+
+In `Clark/src/config/config.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "SCEvents": {
+    "BASE_URL": "http://localhost:8002"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+This is the local-development setting for running Clark and SCEvents as separate processes on your machine.
+
+For deployed environments behind Clark's nginx proxy, use:
+
+```json
+{
+  "SCEvents": {
+    "BASE_URL": "/api/scevents"
+  }
+}
+```
