Frontend

Set up frontend dependencies

For local test, require node>=15.0.0 (we recommend 15.0.1) and npm>=5.6.

node

To install node with the latest version, we need nvm (Node Version Manager) on Ubuntu.

$ curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.38.0/install.sh | bash
# restart bash

You can verify that nvm is installed by calling

$ nvm --version

Then, to install node, you can call

$ nvm install 15.0.1

To verify version of node, you can call

$ node -v

npm and yarn

Then we call install npm by

$ sudo apt install npm

Then we set up yarn using npm

$ cd frontend
$ npm install --global yarn

Build the app

After that, we can build the app

$ cd frontend
$ yarn install

Run frontend module

$ yarn start
