Node

To run some of the front-end applications, you need to have Node.js installed. We recommend using fnm as a version manager.

Ubuntu

sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y curl unzip
curl -fsSL https://fnm.vercel.app/install | bash

Mac

brew install  fnm

Then you can install Node.js by running:

fnm install 20
fnm default 20
fnm use 20

We are using pnpm as a package manager, you can install it by running:

npm install -g pnpm

To test if everything is running try going to the web folder and running:

pnpm install
pnpm dev

Your terminal should look something like this:

If you can open the web app by going to http://localhost:3000 you are good to go!

TIP

We are using a development https certificate, you might be prompted to "Go back to safety" or "Accept the risk and continue". You can safely ignore this warning.

The home page should look something like this:
