Cloning the repository

1. Clone this repository by running git clone https://github.com/notwindstone/anisun

2. Rename the .env.example file in the root directory to .env.local

Configuring Clerk auth

1. Sign up for a Clerk account at https://clerk.com

2. Go to the Clerk dashboard and create an application

3. Go to API Keys in your sidebar and copy Publishable key (Example: pk_test_qwertyuiop1234567890)

4. Paste your Publishable key to NEXT_PUBLIC_CLERK_PUBLISHABLE_KEY in the .env.local file

5. Go to API Keys in your sidebar and copy Secret keys (Example: sk_test_qwertyuiop1234567890)

6. Paste your Publishable key to CLERK_SECRET_KEY in the .env.local file

Database configuration with: 1. Neon Serverless DB

You can use Neon Serverless DB as a database. If you are going to use local PostgreSQL database, then skip this configuration

1. Sign up to Neon DB at https://neon.tech/ to access serverless Postgres by creating a project

2. Go to the Neon dashboard and copy Connection string (Example: postgres://postgres:adminadmin@0.0.0.0:5432/db?sslmode=require)

3. Paste your Connection string to NEON_DATABASE_URL in the .env.local file

4. Make sure the DATABASE_TYPE line in the .env.local file is set to NEON

Database configuration with: 2. Local PostgreSQL

You can use local PostgreSQL as a database. If you are going to use Neon Serverless database, then skip this configuration

1. Go to the .env.local file and paste your connection string to POSTGRESQL_DATABASE_URL

2. Change DATABASE_TYPE to POSTGRESQL in the .env.local file

Final steps

1. (Optional) If you want to watch anime in Kodik Player too, then obtain a token from http://kodik.cc/ (you need to contact them via email) Otherwise, only players based on the Anilibria API will work

2. Run npm install to install the required dependencies

3. Create a comments table in the database using the command npx drizzle-kit push:pg

4. Done! Your web app is ready to start
