So, why not write it in Markdown?

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Node.js (v18+)
• pnpm (v9.4.0) - This project uses pnpm as the package manager

Installation

# Install pnpm globally if you don't have it
npm install -g pnpm

# Install dependencies
pnpm install

First Time Setup

# Build workspace packages (required before first run)
pnpm build:pkg

Development

# Start development server
pnpm dev

Production Build

# Build for production
pnpm build

# Preview production build
pnpm serve

Note: If you see an error like 'pnpm' is not recognized, make sure pnpm is installed and added to your system PATH.

First time setup: Run pnpm build:pkg to build workspace packages before the first run. This is required because this is a monorepo project with multiple packages that need to be compiled first.
