Prerequisites

Before running the project, make sure you have the following installed:

• Node.js (version 16 or higher recommended)
• npm (comes with Node.js) or yarn

To check if you have Node.js installed, run:

node --version
npm --version

Steps to Run the Project

Step 1: Navigate to the Project Directory

Open your terminal/command prompt and navigate to the project folder:

cd SkysmartMega-main

Step 2: Install Dependencies

Install all required packages and dependencies:

npm install

or

npm i

This will download and install all the dependencies listed in package.json. This may take a few minutes.

Step 3: Start the Development Server

Run the development server:

npm run dev

The server will start and you should see output indicating:

• The local URL (typically http://localhost:3000)
• The network URL (for accessing from other devices on your network)

Step 4: Open in Browser

The development server should automatically open your default browser to http://localhost:3000. If it doesn't, manually navigate to:

http://localhost:3000

Additional Commands

Build for Production

To create a production build:

npm run build

This creates an optimized build in the build directory.

Preview Production Build

To preview the production build locally:

npm run preview

Troubleshooting

Port Already in Use

If port 3000 is already in use, Vite will automatically try the next available port (3001, 3002, etc.). Check the terminal output for the actual port number.

Dependencies Not Installing

If you encounter issues installing dependencies:

1. Delete the node_modules folder (if it exists)
2. Delete package-lock.json (if it exists)
3. Run npm install again

Server Not Starting

• Make sure you're in the correct directory (SkysmartMega-main)
• Ensure all dependencies are installed (npm install)
• Check that Node.js and npm are properly installed

Stopping the Server

To stop the development server, press Ctrl + C in the terminal where it's running.
