pnpm --version

git clone https://github.com/your-username/foxfoxy.git

From the root directory, run:

pnpm install

This will install all dependencies for all packages in the workspace.

Navigate to the app directory:

cd app

Create a .env file based on the provided example:

cp .env.example .env

Edit the .env file and fill in the required credentials:

API_KEY=your_api_key_here

From the root directory:

pnpm start

Or if you're in the app directory:

To build the application for development:

cd app
pnpm run package

From the root directory:

pnpm test

To run end-to-end tests:

pnpm test:e2e
