1. To test that things are working, run yarn install and then yarn start in the CLI (in the root directory) and go to an example API route. For Launchpad you can go to localhost:4001/ FinishLine: localhost:3001/users.

   1. Then go to localhost:3000 (FinishLine) or localhost:4000 (Launchpad) to see the dashboard (if it does not launch automatically)! Feel free to take a look around! You may need to open an incognito tab.

2. IDE: VSCode

   1. We use VSCode at NER. You can use something else, but we won’t be able to help you if you have problems. VSCode is pretty industry standard though, so it’s very good to know.

   2. Click File > Open Folder then navigate to the repo and open it

   3. There should be a popup in the bottom right asking you if you want to install the recommended extensions. Click install.

      1. If for some reason this doesn’t show up, the following are the mandatory VSCode extensions. You can install them manually by clicking the extensions tab on the left (it looks like building blocks) and searching for them:

         1. Jest (orta.vscode-jest)

         2. Prisma (prisma.prisma)

         3. ESLint (dbaeumer.vscode-eslint)

         4. Prettier (esbenp.prettier-vscode)

      2. And the optional ones (for a better experience):

         1. Babel (mgmcdermott.vscode-language-babel)

         2. Material Icon Theme (pkief.material-icon-theme)

3. Congrats!

   1. You now (theoretically) have a functioning environment! Congratulations! If not, please look at the FAQ page, and if that doesn’t help, look for further help in the #software_env-setup slack channel (more info down below). Once again, here is the link to the repo (and here is the link to the outdated repo which still holds a lot of useful information).
