Getting Started ​

Welcome to the documentation for Example Project! This guide will help you set up the project on your local machine and get started with the core functionality.

Prerequisites ​

Before you start, make sure you have the following tools installed:

  • Node.js (version X.X.X or higher) – Download Node.js
  • npm – For managing dependencies
  • Git – To clone the repository
  • [Any other prerequisites specific to your project]

Clone the Repository ​

First, clone the project repository to your local machine:

bash
git clone https://everest-media@dev.azure.com/everest-media/Example%20Projects/_git/Example%20Projects
cd [project-repo]

TIP

if you want to change the output folder add folder-name to the end of the git clone command

Or use your preferred git gui

bash
DATABASE_URL=your-database-url
API_KEY=your-api-key
# Add any other required variables here

  • [Provide any additional setup steps or links to further configuration instructions here]

Running the Project Locally ​

To run the project locally, execute the following command:

bash
npm run dev

This will start the development server, and you can access the project at http://localhost:3000 (or the port specified in the config).

First Steps ​

Now that the project is running, try the following to get familiar with the core functionality:

  • [List any core features or initial steps here, e.g., exploring the UI, making an API call, etc.]
  • [Provide any sample commands or configuration examples]
