Run it locally

This is the moment everything comes together. All the tools you installed — the editor, Node.js, the dependencies — they're about to work as one.

In the VS Code terminal, run:

pnpm dev

You'll see output like this:

Open localhost:5173 in your browser. You can Cmd+Click (Mac) or Ctrl+Click (Windows) the link in the terminal to open it directly. You should see the same website you shipped to Vercel — but now it's running on your machine.

That localhost URL is your personal preview, on your computer. Nobody else can see it. It's where you'll try things out before they go live.

What's happening?

Vite is running a local development server. It serves your app and watches your files for changes — when you edit code, the browser updates instantly. No refreshing, no waiting.

Keep this terminal running while you work. To stop the server, click anywhere on the terminal and press Ctrl+C. To run a command again, press ↑ and Enter.

Your site is running locally.

Now let's set up an AI assistant that can write and edit code for you, right inside VS Code.
