HOW TO USE THIS TEMPLATE

When you buy the template. You will be taken to a page to download a zipfile called Structly_Boilerplate.zip

After downloading it to your machine. Do the following to set it up:

1. unzip the folder. You can rename the extracted folder into something else or leave it as is

2. open the zipped folder with the editor of your choice. I use VSCode.

3. create a file called config.env in the root folder (the folder where app.js, server.js files are in)

4. before doing anything, Create a .gitignore file in the root folder and add the following:

/node_modules/*

config.env

# Local Netlify folder

.netlify

5. open the terminal and run npm i to setup the project and download all the npm packages listed in the package.json. This might take a while depending on your internet connection.

6. Once all the npm packages are installed, open the config.env file and edit it as follows:

go to the technical section in this document and copy the list of all keys that should be added to the config.env file. Copy them instead of writing them down to prevent typos
after the keys have been added, replace the values with actual ones from the various providers i.e google console, paypal etc. There is an example file in the root folder of called exampleconfig.env that shows you what your file should look like when fully loaded.

At this point, the npm packages are downloaded and the environmental variables have been entered.

You can now run nodemon server.js or node server.js to start up the template. Once you see a message that reads saas template listening on port 3000 you can view it at: 127.0.0.1:3000

Take some time to familiarize yourself with the various pages, dashboards, API endpoints, project setup

You can now start working on your SaaS idea after saving weeks worth of work for a well spent $200!
