  • Node.js (v18 or higher) – the JavaScript runtime used in this project.
  • pnpm – the package manager used throughout this repository.
  • Postgres App – the Postgres database used in development.

Installation

This repository uses pnpm workspaces to manage multiple packages within a monorepo structure.

pnpm install

Set up Environment Variables

Copy the .env.example file to .env for each package or application that requires configuration:

cp .env.example .env

Repeat this process for all relevant packages and applications in the monorepo.
