# Development Setup

> How to set up your local development environment to contribute to Prezence AI.

This guide will walk you through the steps to get the Prezence AI application running on your local machine.

## Prerequisites

* Node.js (v18 or higher)
* npm or yarn
* A Supabase account (for database and auth)
* A Stripe account (for testing billing features)

## 1. Clone the Repository

```bash theme={null}
git clone https://github.com/hanson-cheng/linkedinleads-hub.git
cd linkedinleads-hub
```

## 2. Install Dependencies

```bash theme={null}
npm install
# or
yarn install
```

## 3. Set Up Environment Variables

* Copy the example environment file:
  ```bash theme={null}
  cp .env.local.example .env.local
  ```
* Open `.env.local` and fill in your Supabase project URL and anon key.
* For local development, you can set `NEXT_PUBLIC_BYPASS_AUTH=true` to skip authentication.

## 4. Set Up the Database

* In your Supabase project dashboard, go to the SQL Editor.
* Run the SQL scripts located in the `/supabase/migrations` directory in the correct order.

## 5. Start the Development Server

```bash theme={null}
npm run dev
```

The application will be available at `http://localhost:3000`.
