Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure you have the following prerequisites:

Step 3 - Clone the Takahē Repository

Now, you need to clone the Takahē repository using Git. Run the following command to clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/JointAkahE/takahe.git

Step 4 - Configure Takahē

After cloning the Takahē repository, navigate to the takahe directory:

cd takahe

Then, copy the takahe.example.env file to .takahe.env and edit it:

cp takahe.example.env .takahe.env
nano .takahe.env

Update the following values according to your preference:

SECRET_KEY=your_secret_key_here
DATABASE_URL=your_database_url_here
