To get the project running locally, follow these steps:
-
Install Dependencies: Open your terminal and run the following command to install all the necessary packages.
npm install
-
Run the Development Server: Start the Next.js development server. The application will be available at
http://localhost:9002.npm run dev
-
Run the Genkit AI Flows: To enable the AI-powered features, you'll need to run the Genkit flows in a separate terminal.
npm run genkit:dev
This will start the Genkit development environment, allowing the application to communicate with the defined AI prompts and models.
The platform supports multiple user roles. To simplify testing, the login page is pre-configured with mock credentials for each role. Simply select a role from the dropdown menu on the login page, and the email field will be auto-filled. Use "password" as the password for all roles.
