# NOSTR BASED blogstack.io deployment notes

## transcript of the youtube video

I dont have much experience in programming but i managed to deploy a clone of blogstack.io on my computer in less than 30 minutes.

Lets do it once more from scratch
So I setup a new user account in my MacBook.

To run most of the web based projects in GitHub I know that I need visual studio code to be downloaded.


## Step 1 - Download Visual studio code

So Lets download that.
From the link
https://code.visualstudio.com/

Let the download continue meanwhile let’s explore where the GitHub code for blogstack.io is available.


## Step 2 - Github code
So this is the link for the GitHub source code for blogstack.io

https://github.com/nodetec/blogstack

## Step 3 - Install VS Code

## Step 4 - Clone the Source code from GitHub

So now we have cloned the repository to VS code

Lets find out what is the programming language used for blog stack
> TypeScript
 95.1%
 

> JavaScript
 4.0%
 

> CSS
 0.9%

Lets find out how to install typescript in VS code

permission denied when trying to install

Lets try with sudo cammand

`sudo npm install -g typescript`

Installed with sudo


So I know that I have to type npm start command to run the application but its not working


Seems like next.js needs to be installed

So lets try that

`sudo npm install next react react-dom`

Server is started now at `http://localhost:3000`

But nothing is working..

There seems to be an error. Let’s check what it is.

Seems like we have to use this command

`sudo npm run build`

But it’s not working because of the same permission issue. This issue may not happen in your computer if u are logged into the admin user.

Now we can again use the sudo command here.

All seems to be working good.


Lets try to start again

`npm run start`




 wow - now blog stack is deployed on your local host and u can start tinkering with blog stack


`page.tsx` seems to be the main page from which the code is working..
Lets try to tinker - as I don’t know much coding :)

I changed the case to small case.

Changed the spelling of topics to topix.

Lets see

First I think we have to commit the code changes..

Then build it again and then start

Build and started

Now lets see if the changes reflect in the localhost

Hey

Wonderful

>Tinkering succesful

So next step would be to deploy a clone in a cloud server with a nice domain name.

And then I think I will be learning typescript slowly to understand how to change and evolve the code according to my ideas..

Had published few ideas in my previous posts in stacker.news

Ideas to connect exceptionally good authors on relevant topics with like minded people across the world following the same topic

Yes.

These are few ideas I wish to integrate to a nostr client
