Installation

Step-by-step guide to getting Apex Dashboard running on your local machine.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have the following installed:

Node.js 18+ — Download Node.js
npm, yarn, or pnpm — npm ships with Node.js; yarn and pnpm are optional alternatives
Git — for cloning the repository

git clone https://github.com/colorlib/apex-dashboard.git
cd apex-dashboard

Use your preferred package manager:

npm install

yarn

pnpm install

npm run dev

The development server starts at http://localhost:3000. Next.js hot-reloads your changes automatically so you can see updates in real time.

When you are ready to deploy, create an optimized production build:

npm run build
npm run start

npm run build compiles and optimizes the application. npm run start serves the built output on port 3000.

Command	Description
`npm run dev`	Start development server with hot reload
`npm run build`	Create optimized production build
`npm run start`	Serve the production build
`npm run lint`	Run ESLint across the project

Now that you have the project running, explore the Folder Structure to understand how the codebase is organized.
