  • Node.js version 12 or higher

Step 1: Clone Newtelco Tab Repository

Open the terminal and navigate to the directory where you want to store the Newtelco Tab project. Then, clone the repository using the following command:

Step 3: Configure the Environment File

Newtelco Tab uses an environment file to store configuration variables. Create a new .env file using the following command:

Open the .env file in your preferred text editor and add the following configuration variables:

PORT=3000
API_HOST=http://localhost:8080
API_KEY=<YOUR_API_KEY>
  • The PORT value is the port number that the server will listen on.
  • The API_HOST value should be set to the URL of your API server where you will be fetching the data from.
  • The API_KEY value is the API key that is required to access the API.

Make sure to replace <YOUR_API_KEY> with the actual API key.

Step 4: Start the Server

Once the environment variables are set, start the server with the following command:

$ npm start

This command will start the server at the specified port number in the .env file.
