The setup is designed to be zero-configuration - just download, install, and run. No Docker, no external databases, no cloud setup needed.
Want me to help you with any specific part of the setup?
To configure the generation, complete these steps:
I'll walk you through every single step to get FitVerse running on your laptop!
# Open Terminal/Command Prompt and type:
node --versionExpected output: v18.17.0 or similar (need v16+)
If you get "command not found":
npm --versionExpected output: 9.6.7 or similar
If download doesn't work, create the project manually:
# Create project folder
mkdir fitverse-app
cd fitverse-app
# Initialize npm project
npm init -yThen copy each file from the code blocks above into the correct folders.
# Open Terminal/Command Prompt
# Navigate to where you extracted the files
# Example paths:
cd Desktop/fitverse-app # If on Desktop
cd Documents/fitverse-app # If in Documents
cd Downloads/fitverse-app # If in Downloads# List files to make sure you're in the right place
ls # Mac/Linux
dir # WindowsYou should see:
