1. Install mongodb v7.x.x Community Edition if not already installed locally.
   1. Mac
      1. Start the database
   2. Windows
      1. Start the database
2. Copy example env to get local up and running.

cp .env.example .env.local

Note: On node >=17, you'll need to replace localhost with 0.0.0.0 (src)

4. Install dependencies and start app

npm i
npm run dev

5. This will run the web app under a development node environment, meaning that it will not load any external resources which may require secrets (API Keys, etc).
6. You now should be up and running to start developing 🥸

Make sure you have created the above keys with provided values or your own where indicated. Once you have both created (copy .env.example) and added to your .env.local file (or any other equivalent environment variable system), you can actually deploy it. (instructions in hyperlinks)

Instead of just running in the development environment, now the site will be built and then served (which is how it would run on Vercel).

To run the production environment, simply run these commands (and have environment variables populated).

npm i
npm run build
npm run preview
