Quick Start
Next.js Professional Starter is distributed as a downloadable ZIP archive.
This guide explains how to install dependencies and start the development server locally.
System Requirements
The project requires a modern JavaScript development environment.
Minimum requirements:
- Node.js 20 or newer
- pnpm package manager
Node.js can be installed from:
pnpm installation instructions are available at:
Extract the Project
Download the starter ZIP archive and extract it to a local directory.
Example location:
C:\Projects\nextjs-professional-starter
Avoid placing the project inside cloud-synchronized folders such as OneDrive or Dropbox.
These tools may silently modify files and cause formatting or Git inconsistencies.
Install Dependencies
Open a terminal inside the project directory and install dependencies.
pnpm install
This command installs all required packages defined in package.json.
Start the Development Server
Run the development server.
pnpm dev
After startup the application will be available at:
The development server automatically reloads when source files change.
Verify the Installation
To confirm that the environment is configured correctly, run the following checks.
TypeScript check:
pnpm tsc
Linting:
pnpm lint
Project build:
pnpm build
If these commands complete without errors, the starter environment is functioning correctly.
Next Steps
The starter provides a professional engineering baseline for modern web applications.
The repository includes:
- project structure
- development tooling
- code quality checks
- project documentation
Application logic such as authentication, databases, or product features is intentionally not included.
Developers are expected to implement application-specific functionality on top of this baseline.
