Your step-by-step guide to set up and customize your project

Getting Started

Welcome to the Tribe7 documentation! This guide will walk you through the process of setting up your project from scratch, even if you have minimal coding experience. Follow these steps to get your project up and running in just 60 minutes.

Prerequisites

Before we begin, here's what you'll need to complete this setup:

  • A computer running Windows, MacOS, or Linux
  • Stable internet connection
  • Basic familiarity with using a browser and installing applications
  • No prior coding experience required

Visual Studio Code (VS Code) is a free, lightweight code editor that we'll use to make simple modifications to your project.

1
Download VS Code

Visit the Visual Studio Code website and download the appropriate version for your operating system.

Pro Tip: VS Code has thousands of extensions that enhance its functionality. However, for our project, you won't need to install any additional extensions to get started.
