Make sure you are on the follow-along branch!
Create a Codespace
- Click the green Code button
- Switch to the Codespaces tab
- Click Create Codespace on main or if you already have a Codespace click the plus (+) button
The Codespace will open in a new tab. Wait a few minutes until it's fully built.
Verify everything is working correctly
Open the terminal with Ctrl + ` or by opening it through the menu:
Set the AVACLOUD_API_KEY environment variable
Create a .env file in the root of the project and add your API key from the previous step:
Start the NextJS app

It should preview within the Codespace:
Optional: Open Codespace locally in Visual Studio Code
You can switch any time from the browser IDE to Visual Studio Code:
The first time you switch, you will be asked to install the Codespaces extension and connect VS Code to you GitHub account, if it is not already connceted.
