Getting Started

Pre-requisite

💡 We use pnpm as a drop-in replacement for npm for better package management

1. Install either asdf or nvm to manage your node version.
2. Install the node version mentioned in the .nvmrc file.

# if you're using asdf
asdf install nodejs
# if you're using nvm
nvm install

3. Install pnpm globally as package manager,

npm install -g pnpm

4. You need a postmark account for sending contact emails.
5. You need a cloudinary account for image hosting.

Up and Running

git clone git@github.com:murshidazher/zen.git
