Setup

1. Install Dependencies

Run the following command to install all required dependencies:

npm install --legacy-peer-deps

2. Create a .env File

Create a .env file in the project root and add the following environment variables:

AUTH_SECRET=
DATABASE_URL=
UPLOADTHING_TOKEN=
NEXTAUTH_URL="http://localhost:3000"
AUTH_TRUST_HOST=true

Environment Variables Explained:

• AUTH_SECRET – A secret key used for authentication. You can generate a secure string using OpenSSL it the git terminal:

  openssl rand -hex 32

• DATABASE_URL – Your PostgreSQL database connection string. Use the following format:

  postgresql://<username>:<password>@<host>:<port>/postgres
  

  Replace <username>, <password>, <host>, and <port> with your actual database credentials.

• UPLOADTHING_TOKEN – An API token for UploadThing. To obtain this:

  1. Create an account on UploadThing.
  2. Set up a project.
  3. Copy your token and paste it into the .env file.

Next Steps

After configuring the .env file, generate the Prisma client and apply migrations to set up the database schema:

npx prisma migrate dev

This ensures Prisma is properly set up before you start the server.

After setting up your environment, you can start the development server:

npm run dev

Creating first user

Now we'll create our first admin user. Navigate to http://localhost:3000/admin/create-first-user

• NOTE: After creating the first admin user, this page will not be accessible anymore, unless you clear the database. Please be careful and do not forget your admin credentials.

To start a production build, run the following command:

npm run build
npm run start

NOTE: Please make sure to configure your environment variables because, auth.js may fail.
