The best way to install pnpm
for this project is by using Corepack, a new feature bundled with Node.
Install pnpm with the following commands (there are more ways to install 'pnpm' if you prefer to use a different method please visit pnpm's installation page):
npm install -g pnpm
Use the following command to create a local .env
file. Then open the new file (.env
) to make any changes required in the document.
cp .env.example .env
Once you have node
, pnpm
installed, please run the following command to install all dependencies:
pnpm install
After running the command above, you should see a node_modules
folder in your project root. This is where all the dependencies are installed. At this point you can run the project locally using the following command:
pnpm dev
Once you run this command, a local server is running at http://localhost:3000 any changes that you make to the code will be reflected on the browser automatically.
