# Quick Start

### Installation

Navigate to your root folder **`(i.e. able-pro-material-react)`**

```
c:\>cd able-pro-material-next
```

Install Packages by **npm** as per your preferences. Here we are using the package manager.

```
c:\able-pro-material-next> npm i
```

**We would recommend yarn over npm**. Why? see this:

{% endhint %}

### Start

After package installation, you can start your app by using **`npm run dev`** the command

```
c:\ablepro-material-next> npm run dev
```

This will start your local server at **`http://localhost:3000`** Also, your terminal shows the following.

```javascript
Compiled successfully!

You can now view able-pro-material-react in the browser.

Local:            http://localhost:3000    
On Your Network:  http://192.168.29.77:3000

Note that the development build is not optimized.
To create a production build, use npm run build.
```

### Build & Deploy

This might be too early to deploy, but it is always good to know how to deploy.

To build your app for production use **`npm run build`** command

```javascript
c:\able-pro-material-next> yarn build
or
c:\able-pro-material-next> npm run build
```

{% hint style="info" %}
**You’ll need to have Node v20.x.x or later on your local development machine** (but it’s not required on the server). You can use [nvm](https://github.com/creationix/nvm#installation) (macOS/Linux) or [nvm-windows](https://github.com/coreybutler/nvm-windows#node-version-manager-nvm-for-windows) to switch Node versions between different projects easily.
