Quick Start

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18 or higher
• npm or pnpm package manager
• A running PQN Node API (see pqn-stack)

Installation

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/PublicQuantumNetwork/pqn-gui.git
   cd pqn-gui

2. Install dependencies

   npm install
   # or
   pnpm install

Running the Development Server

npm run dev
# or
pnpm dev

Open http://localhost:3000 in your browser to see the interface.

Building for Production

npm run build
npm run start

Configuration

The frontend expects the PQN Node API to be running at http://127.0.0.1:8000 by default.

To configure the API endpoints, create a .env.local file in the root of the project:

NEXT_PUBLIC_TIMETAGGER_ADDRESS=127.0.0.1:8000
NEXT_PUBLIC_FOLLOWER_NODE_ADDRESS=127.0.0.1:8000

Replace the addresses with your actual Node API endpoints if they differ from the defaults.
