Setup local development

To get started on this project, we've prepared a starter repository with some code for you.

The project source code exists on GitHub, at the following URL: https://github.com/bitcoin-dev-project/bitcoin-stack

If you're familiar with Git, you can fork this project and clone it onto your own computer.
If you're not familiar with Git, you can download a .zip file containing everything you need:

To run a local development server, we first need to install third-party dependencies (eg. React, bitcoin-js). This can be done by cd-ing into the root project folder and running the following command:

shell
 
  $ npm install

Once the dependencies have been downloaded, you can run a dev server with the following command:

shell
 
  $ npm run dev
  

This will start a local development server. The terminal output should look something like this:

After downloading the project repository and starting a development server (npm run dev), you should see the following initial page:
