3. Set Up Your Project Locally

Now that you’ve successfully created your website, it’s time to set up the project on your own computer.
Clone or download Crafter’s default theme (Crafter Default Theme) from GitHub to your computer as a ZIP file.
git clone https://github.com/EfeSorogluu/Crafter-Default-Theme.git
After entering the project folder, run the following command to install all required Node.js packages: 
npm install
Or 
yarn install

​
4. Configure Environment Variables (.env)

You need to set up environment variables for the project to communicate with Crafter services. This step must be completed before starting the project. Create a file named .env.local in the root directory of your project and paste the following content into it.
You can get your WEBSITE_ID and LICENCE_KEY information from your site settings in the Crafter Admin Panel.
# .env

# You must get this ID and License Key from the site settings you created in the crafter.net.tr panel.
NEXT_PUBLIC_WEBSITE_ID=GET_FROM_CRAFTER.NET.TR
NEXT_PUBLIC_LICENCE_KEY=GET_FROM_CRAFTER.NET.TR

# Backend API address, you do not need to change this address.
NEXT_PUBLIC_BACKEND_URL="https://api.crafter.net.tr"

# The main URL where your site will be published.
# If you get a 'build' or 'app-config' error, set it to "http://localhost:3000" for the development environment.
NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL="https://demo.crafter.net.tr"

​
5. Build the Project

The last step before being completely ready! Build your website to prepare it for launch. 
npm run build

​
6. Start the Project

Once all setup and configuration steps are complete, use the following command to start the development server. 
@echo off
title Crafter Launcher
set PORT=80

echo ============================
echo Crafter Launcher
echo ============================

npm run start
if %errorlevel% neq 0 (
  echo.
  echo An error occurred! Do you want to exit? (Y/N)
  set /p answer=
  if /I "%answer%"=="Y" exit /b
    goto :eof
)
pause
If you are working on Windows, update the “start” command in the package.json file with “next start -H 0.0.0.0”.
