Current Status: ✅ Code is Ready!

All code issues have been fixed and the project is ready to run. You just need to install Node.js.

⚡ Installation Steps

Step 1: Install Node.js

You need to install Node.js first. Choose the easiest method for you:

Method A: Official Installer (Easiest - 5 minutes)

  1. Go to https://nodejs.org/
  2. Click the LTS button (v18 or v20) to download
  3. Open the downloaded file and follow the installer
  4. Verify it worked by opening Terminal and running: 
    node --version
npm --version
    You should see version numbers like v20.x.x and 10.x.x

Method B: Using Homebrew (if you have it)

brew install node

Step 2: Install Project Dependencies

Once Node.js is installed, run this in your Terminal:

cd /Users/aryaarora/Downloads/arabian-nights-quiz
npm install

This will download all required packages (~2-3 minutes).

Step 3: Start the Development Server

npm run dev

You should see:

ready - started server on 0.0.0.0:3000

Step 4: Open Your Browser

Go to: http://localhost:3000

You should see the Arabian Nights Quiz homepage! 🌙

"Port 3000 is already in use"

→ Next.js will automatically use port 3001. Check the terminal output for the actual port.

"Cannot find module..."

→ Run: npm install again

Build fails

→ Delete cache and reinstall:

rm -rf node_modules .next
npm install
npm run dev
