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

Install Dependencies

To install the required dependencies, using npm, run:

bash
npm install

This will install all necessary dependencies for the project.

Configuration

After installing the dependencies, you'll need to configure the project. Here's how you can do that:

  1. Environment Variables: Create a .env file in the root of the project and add the required variables:
bash
DATABASE_URL=your-database-url
API_KEY=your-api-key
# Add any other required variables here
  1. Other Configurations: If your project requires any additional configuration (e.g., setting up a database or integrating with external services), follow the instructions below.
  • [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]
