The easiest way to try this is to run it locally on your computer.
First, you'll need to create your own copy of this code. You can do so by clicking the "Fork" button on GitHub and filling out the form.
Once you've cloned the repository, create a .env.local
file to setup the environment variables, you can reuse the default variables or change them as you will:
cp .env.example .env.local
Then install dependencies and start the Next.js server:
# Using yarn
yarn install
yarn dev
# Using npm
npm install
npm run dev
You can deploy your blog to any hosting provider that supports Next.js. We recommend Vercel, as it is the easiest way to deploy Next.js apps.
To deploy you'll need to make sure you include the right environment variables. You can find some examples of our environment variables in the .env.local.example
file.
