Installation

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed:

Requirement	Version	Notes
Node.js	18.17 or higher	Required for Next.js 16
pnpm	8.0 or higher	Recommended package manager
MongoDB	6.0 or higher	Local instance or MongoDB Atlas
Git	2.0 or higher	For cloning the repository

MongoDB Atlas offers a free tier that works well for development. Create an account at mongodb.com/atlas.

git clone --filter=blob:none --sparse https://github.com/nabinkhair42/fastly.git my-app

pnpm install

npm install

yarn install

cp env.example .env.local

Open .env.local and configure the required variables. See Environment Setup for details.

pnpm dev

npm run dev

yarn dev

The application will be available at http://localhost:3000.

After starting the server, verify that everything is working:

If you see database connection errors, verify your MONGODB_URI is correct and the database is accessible.

pnpm build

npm run build

yarn build

pnpm start

npm start

yarn start

The production server runs on port 3000 by default. Use the PORT environment variable to change it.

If port 3000 is occupied, specify a different port:

PORT=3001 pnpm dev

Clear the cache and reinstall dependencies:

rm -rf node_modules .next
pnpm install

Ensure you're using the correct Node.js version:

node --version  # Should be 18.17+

Continue to Environment Setup to configure your database, OAuth providers, and email service.
