Running the Application

This section contains instructions for setting up the local environment for application development.

Prerequisites​

To start working on the project, ensure you have the following tools installed:

  • Node.js version 20.x or newer: Node.js is a runtime environment for JavaScript that allows you to run code outside of the browser.
  • npm or yarn: Package managers that allow you to manage project dependencies.
  • Docker: A platform for creating, running, and managing containers.

Steps​

1. Clone the repository​

The first step is to clone the repository with the project source code to your local computer. Execute the following command in the terminal:

git clone https://github.com/chlip1/CreativeDevelopment.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:​

After cloning the repository, navigate to the project directory using the following command:

    cd CreativeDevelopment

3. Set up environment variables (see: Environment Variables):​

Environment variables are crucial for configuring the application. Copy the sample environment variables file and edit it to customize the settings to your needs:

    cp .env.example .env
    nano .env

Open the .env file in a text editor and enter the appropriate values for each variable.

4. Run the application using Docker Compose​

The application is started using the following command:

docker-compose up --build

Once the container is running, the application should be available at http://localhost:4200.
