Install and run a prototype kit project

Goal

Get a prototype kit project running locally.

Steps

1. Clone the repository

• git clone <repo-url>
• cd <repo>

2. Install dependencies

• npm install

3. Start the server

• Run whichever script the repo provides:
  • npm run dev (common for Next.js / modern projects)
  • npm start (common for the prototype kit)

4. Open the site

• The terminal will print the URL (usually http://localhost:3000).

If it fails

• Read the first error in the terminal output (ignore the noise below it).
• Common fixes:
  • Wrong Node version → install/switch to the required Node version.
  • npm install fails → delete node_modules + package-lock.json then reinstall (only if you understand you’re re-resolving deps).
  • Port already in use → stop the other server or change port.
