How to use

To clone and run this application, you'll need Git and Node.js (which comes with npm) installed on your computer. From your command line:

# Clone this repository (via HTTPS or SSH)
$ git clone https://github.com/montteiropedro/ip-address-tracker.git
$ git clone [email protected]:montteiropedro/ip-address-tracker.git

Now, navigate inside the project folder. There you will find a file named .env.example, from it you can easily configure your environment variables. Don't forget to rename this file to .env, only then it will be functional.

After this we must install the project dependencies. We can do this by running the following command:

# Install dependencies (You must do this step inside the project folder)
$ npm install

With the dependencies installed we can run:

# Run app in localhost
npm run dev

# Compile and Build the app
npm run build
