Setup Guide

Install, run, customize, and prepare QuoteForge Local for a buyer-owned deployment.

Local setup

Install dependencies with npm install.
Run the app locally with npm run dev.
Open http://127.0.0.1:3000 and test the landing page, calculator gallery, dashboard, branding, docs, and embed preview.

npm install
npm run dev

Build and verify

Run npm run lint, npm run typecheck, and npm run build before client handoff.
Use npm run test:e2e for browser coverage of the core buyer-facing flows.
Use npm run check:links against a local or deployed URL to catch broken internal routes.
Use QA_CHECKLIST.md and FIRST-CLIENT-DEPLOYMENT-CHECKLIST.md before delivering the first client install.

npm run lint
npm run typecheck
npm run build
npm run test:e2e

Customize before launch

Edit service templates in data/templates.ts.
Adjust quote logic in lib/quote-engine.ts.
Update default branding in data/demo-leads.ts or through the dashboard branding page.
Set optional environment variables only when connecting buyer-owned services.
