Installing Zernikalos Nest

Prerequisites

Before starting, make sure you have completed all steps in the Installing Zernikalos guide.

First, you'll need to clone two essential repositories:

# Clone ZKBuilder
git clone https://gitlab.com/zernikalos/zkbuilder.git

# Clone Nest Backend
git clone https://gitlab.com/zernikalos/nest.git

It is recommended to use PNPM package manager for Nest, as npm currently has issues with the defined workspace.

Build the ZkBuilder project:

cd zkbuilder
pnpm install
pnpm build

And then perform the very same operation for nest:

cd ../nest
pnpm install
pnpm build

You can start the app in dev build mode using:

pnpm run dev

Or using the compiled version (it will take longer to be launched):

pnpm run start

If everything has succeeded you will be able to see the Nest App being launched in your desktop:
