# Get Started

Get started in 5 minutes

Welcome to SaasCore, the NextJS boilerplate to launch your product in days.

SaasCore code is on GitHub, so start by cloning the repo.

```bash
git clone https://github.com/CodeZak/saascore.git
```

```bash
cd saascore # enter the saascore folder 
git remote remove origin # remove the remote origin
cp .env.example .env # copy the env file
npm i # install the dependencies
npm run dev # start the local next.js server
```

At this point, your product is running at [`http://localhost:3000`](http://localhost:3000/)

Point your browser to that page, and see it in action! 🚀

Pretty exciting, right?!

### Configuration <a href="#configuration" id="configuration"></a>

Check the [Configuration ](https://docs.nextsaas.io/get_started/configuration)page to configure your web app (mandatory for most of the features).

### NodeJS Version <a href="#nodejs-version" id="nodejs-version"></a>

To correctly run Shipped, you need to use a version of NodeJS 20.11.1

To enforce it, the repository includes a `.nvmrc` file.

NVM is a Node Version Manager that you can download [here](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm).

To activate the correct NodeJS version, go to the Shipped folder and run

```
nvm install 20.11.1
nvm use
```

Install the [script to automatically switch nodejs version](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm#calling-nvm-use-automatically-in-a-directory-with-a-nvmrc-file) when you move to a folder with a `.nvmrc` file
