# How to initialize project

### Build Setup

Now that you have downloaded and unzipped the project, you should have seen that there are 2 folders, the Backend folder and the Frontend folder. In this tutorial, we will teach you how to configure the frontend.

Running the project frontend is very simple. First, navigate to the frontend folder and install its dependencies.

```
cd frontend

npm install
```

#### Run project DEV

Running in development mode allows you to monitor everything that is happening.

```
npm run dev

# OR 

yarn dev
```

#### Build for production and launch server

As ElectroAAC uses Typescript, to apply the production mode, we must compile our project. Use the following commands:

```
npm run build
npm run start

# OR

yarn build
yarn start
```
