Getting Started

Let's kick things off by setting up the project on your local machine. Follow these steps:

  2. Navigate to the project directory:
    3. $ cd your-project-name
  3. Install project dependencies:
    4. $ npm install
  4. Configuration:
    5. $ cp .env.example .env
  5. Run the project In Development:
    6. $ npm run dev
  6. Run the project In Production:
    7. $ npm run build && npm start
  7. Running with Docker:
    8. $ docker build -t your-image-name .
  8. Run the container:
    9. $ docker run -p 8080:8080 -d your-image-name
