Prerequisites

Required Software

Vite 7 and TanStack Router require a current Node release. Node 20 LTS is the recommended runtime.

node --version   # Should print v20.x.x or higher (v18.0+ is the floor)

Install via nodejs.org, nvm, fnm, or your distribution's package manager.

Used to run a local stack, apply migrations, and generate types.

npm install -g supabase   # or: brew install supabase/tap/supabase
supabase --version

Only required if you want to run Supabase locally (npx supabase start). Skip if you'll connect to Supabase Cloud directly.

docker --version

Install Docker Desktop on macOS/Windows, or Docker Engine on Linux.

To clone the repo:

git --version

Supabase account — Sign up at supabase.com (free tier is enough to get started)
A hosting provider for the static SPA — Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare Pages, Render, your own VPS, etc.
