Hey there! This project uses yarn v1, so if you want to try running it locally, you should use yarn. That being said, I open sourced this repo just for transparency and didn't actually expect anyone else to try to run it.

But if you do want to get the API running, you need to set up a few things:

• A postgres database: I'd recommend using postgres.app if you're on a Mac. You'll need to set the DATABASE_URL env variable to the postgres://... URL to your database
• I'm using node 18. This project uses volta to automatically install the correct node version
• I also set a PORT env variable

What does your installation error look like? Could you copy/paste it here?

Hello again :)

This is a cool project, why not give it a try? :)

########################################################################################
I have a postgres database runing on docker:

Here my .env file:
NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL=http://localhost:4000/graphql
NEXT_PUBLIC_WS_URL=ws://localhost:4000/graphql
DATABASE_URL=postgres://youruser:yourpassword@localhost:5432/yourdb
PORT=3000

I'm using chat gpt to help me set this thing up but even that way i couldn't get it.
I'm also using linux(Ubuntu)

Oh I see. You're missing the generated GraphQL files (generated/graphql.js) which are created by GraphQL codegen. You'll need to run yarn gql before starting the server.

What do you plan on doing with this project once you have it set up?

I'll try to install the GraphQL files again carefully.

I don't know what I will do with the project but I know two things

1 - With this project I will not be the next Sam Altman or Mark Zuckerberg down the road ehehe
2 - I can even compile the project xD
