In the root directory of the project, install the necessary packages via the command:

npm install

To run the frontend, run

npm run dev

To run the set up the database, open another tab in your terminal. Then, enter the following commands:

cd backend
npm install
node init.js

Now, run:

nodemon server.js

The application is now running on localhost:3000, and the server is running on localhost:8000

Create a project using this example:

You can start editing the page by modifying pages/index.tsx. The page auto-updates as you edit the file.

On pages/_app.tsx, you'll find our ThirdwebProvider wrapping your app, this is necessary for our hooks and UI Components to work.

To run this project, you will need to add environment variables. Check the .env.example file for all the environment variables required and add it to .env.local file or set them up on your hosting provider.

Deploy a copy of your application to IPFS using the following command:

yarn deploy
