Development Setup

Prerequisites

• Node.js - We use Node.js version 20.19.4
• NVM (Node Version Manager) - For managing Node.js versions
• Yarn - Package manager

Setting Up Your Development Environment

1. Install NVM if you haven't already:

   curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.0/install.sh | bash

2. Install Yarn if you haven't already:

   npm install -g yarn

3. Install and use the correct Node.js version by running the following commands in the project directory:

   nvm install
   nvm use

4. Install dependencies:

   yarn install

5. Build the project to ensure there are no errors:

   yarn build

   This will create a build directory with the production build of the website. Check the output for any errors.

6. Start the development server:

   yarn dev

7. Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:3000 to view the website locally.

Git Hooks

• We use Husky for pre-commit checks. See contributing/repo-workflow.md#git-hooks-and-checks.
