Before installing MedusaJS on your macOS machine, make sure that you have the following prerequisites installed:
You can check if you have Node.js and npm installed by running the following commands in your terminal:
node -v
npm -v
If you don't have Node.js and npm installed, visit the official Node.js website and download the latest LTS version.
Once you have Node.js and npm installed, you can follow the steps below to install MedusaJS:
Open your terminal and navigate to the directory where you want to install MedusaJS.
Run the following command to install MedusaJS:
npm install medusajs --save
This will download and install the latest version of MedusaJS from the official npm registry.
Once the installation is complete, you can test if MedusaJS has been successfully installed by running the following command:
node node_modules/medusajs/bin/medusa start
This will start the MedusaJS server on your local machine.
You can now access the MedusaJS admin panel by visiting the following URL in your web browser:
http://localhost:9000/admin
This will take you to the login page of the MedusaJS admin panel. Use the default username and password ("admin" for both) to log in.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed MedusaJS on your macOS machine. You can now start building your e-commerce store using MedusaJS.
