Getting started

Require

To use hot-code reloading. You need nodemon package.

npm i -g nodemon

Installation

install it once globally npm

npm i -g cna

You’ll need to have Node >= 6 on your machine. You can use nvm to easily switch Node versions between different projects.

You don't need to use Node as your primary backend. The Node installation is only required for CNA and running the Next.js server in development/production.
