Demoing With Minted

^{^{Running The Project How-To Guide}}

The project is deployed and can be demoed on mintd.vercel.app.

mintd.vercel.app is run on the same api keys given to you to run locally. Deployed and locally run version will produce the same instance.

Prerequisites

Have Node.js version >= 18.17.0 installed.

Download Node.js here.

Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/nam-t24/Senior-CS-Project.git

Go into the project directory
```
cd Senior-CS-Project
```
Create the environment file

Create a file in the root directory named .env.local

Must be created since we wanted to avoid uploading secret api keys online
Populate the environment file

Copy and paste the template below and add the given API keys into .env.local
```
NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL=project-url
NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY=anon-key
```
Install packages (requires node version >= 18.17.0)
