# Get started

Goal: a running app and a login screen in a few minutes.

## What you need

- Node.js 22 or newer
- Yarn 4 (enable via Corepack)
- No database server; local SQLite is the default

## Four steps

### 1. Install

```bash
corepack enable
yarn install
```

### 2. Config

```bash
cp .env.example .env
```

Local defaults are fine. `TURSO_DATABASE_URL` already points at `file:local.db`.

To mount a drive you also need a secret (used to encrypt saved drive passwords):

```bash
openssl rand -hex 32
```

Put it in `.env` as `MEDIA_SECRET_KEY`.

### 3. Database and admin

```bash
yarn db:push
yarn db:seed
```

`db:seed` creates **admin / admin123**. Change that password before going public.

### 4. Run

```bash
yarn dev:web
```

Open `http://localhost:4321`. English is at `/en`, Chinese at `/zh-CN`.

After login you should see:

- **Library** — your shows
- **Browse** — folders on the drive
- **Mounts** — drive connections
- **Danmaku** — on/off and style
- **Watch** — the player page
