Dev environment setup

Please note: This step is optional and intended for users who want to use a modern front-end development workflow with Vite and Tailwind CSS. You can still customize Around using plain HTML, CSS, and JavaScript without any build tools.

Around is built using a modern front-end toolset.

Node.js Official website: Node.js is a JavaScript runtime required to run the Vite build system and manage project dependencies.
npm Official website: npm is used to install dependencies and run predefined scripts such as development server, production build, and asset optimization.
Vite Official website: Vite is a fast modern build tool used to compile Tailwind CSS, bundle JavaScript, and provide a lightning-fast development server.
Tailwind CSS 4 Official website: Tailwind CSS 4 is a utility-first CSS framework. Theme customization is handled via css/_config.css using the @theme directive.

Installing dependencies

After installing Node.js and npm, install all required project dependencies by running:

npm install

Once installation is complete, proceed to npm scripts to start the development server or build the project for production.
