Welcome to the environment setup documentation! This page provides essential steps for configuring your development environment. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, these guidelines will help you get started.

📌 Key Steps for Setup

  1. Install Dependencies
    Make sure to install all required software and libraries. For example:

    • Python 3.8+
    • Node.js (v14 or higher)
    • A code editor like VS Code or PyCharm

  2. Configure Environment Variables
    Set up your environment variables properly. For instance:

    • API_KEY for authentication
    • DATABASE_URL to connect to your database
    • DEBUG_MODE to enable logging

  3. Setup Development Tools
    Install tools that enhance your productivity:

    • Linting tools (e.g., ESLint, Pylint)
    • Version control (Git)
    • Package managers (npm, pip)

  4. Test Your Configuration
    Run basic tests to ensure everything is working:

    # Example test command
python -m pytest

⚠️ Common Pitfalls to Avoid

  • ❌ Incorrect Path Permissions: Always check directory permissions before deploying.
  • ❌ Missing Dependencies: Use requirements.txt or package.json to track dependencies.
  • ❌ Conflicting Port Usage: Ensure no other services are using the default ports (e.g., 8080).
