Requirements
| Software | Version | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Node.js | 24 or newer, with npm | Installs the dependencies, runs the dev server, the build and the tests |
| Web server | Any static host, or Node.js | The default build (dist/bootstrap) is plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript, one folder per page: Netlify, Vercel, GitHub Pages, Nginx, Apache, IIS, S3 + CloudFront... The server build (.output/) runs with Node.js 24 (see Installation) |
| Back end | Not required | The demo data is static. Connect your own API when you build your application |
With the static build, Node.js is only needed on your development machine or in your CI: the server receives the generated files.
