You have completed an app using our service and now you want to compile it. For now, we don’t have a compiling service, but it is in our development plan. Follow this simple step-by-step guide to compile the application on your own computer. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, this guide will help you get started quickly.


Step 1: Download the Project

The first step is to download the project files. If the app was generated using our AI-powered tool, you should receive a download link or access to the project repository. Click the link and download the ZIP file containing your project.


Step 2: Unzip the Folder

Once the download is complete, locate the ZIP file in your downloads folder. Unzip (extract) the contents to a location of your choice. For Windows, you can right-click and select Extract All. On macOS and Linux, you can use the built-in archive manager.

Step 3: Open Terminal or Command Line in the Project Folder

Now, navigate to the extracted project folder. Open a terminal (macOS/Linux) or command prompt (Windows) and change the directory to your project folder.

cd path\to\your\project-folder
cd /path/to/your/project-folder

Step 4: Install Dependencies

Your project uses Node.js and npm to manage dependencies. Run the following command to install all necessary dependencies:

npm install

This command will fetch and install all required packages specified in the package.json file.


Conclusion

Once the dependencies are installed, your app is ready to run and develop further! You can now execute additional commands like npm start or expo start (for React Native projects) to preview and test your application. If you encounter any issues, double-check that you have Node.js installed and your system meets the required dependencies.

By following these simple steps, you can successfully compile and run your AI-generated app on your local machine. Happy coding!
