Navigate to your project folder and install its dependencies:
yarn install
or
bun install
NOTE: bun is not stable on Windows yet, preferably use yarn 4.
or if you're running linux arch and having problems with sharp, try the following:
npm install --ignore-scripts=false --foreground-scripts sharp
You can use Bun too but there is a problem where the above code doesn't work since Bun doesn't support Sharp yet, but it is expected to be added soon. but that problem is only with the installation , you can run this project with Bun faster than NPM.
To install Pages CMS for markdown editing, go to the website and set up your account there, feel free to modify the config page to suit your needs
Once the installation is done, you can now run your app:
yarn dev
or
bun dev
This runs the app in development mode. Open http://localhost:8080 to view it in the browser.
yarn build
or
bun build
This builds the app for production to the ./dist/
folder.
