Installation

Get started with Mermify, the visual text-to-diagram hybrid editor.

Prerequisites

Before starting, make sure you have the following installed on your system:

  • Bun (runtime and package manager)
  • Git (for version control)

Setup Instructions

Follow these simple steps to set up and run the editor locally:

1. Clone the Repository

bash
git clone https://github.com/tra-sco/mermify.git
cd mermify

2. Install Dependencies

Use Bun to install the project dependencies:

bash
bun install

3. Run the Development Server

Launch Vite's hot-reloading development server:

bash
bun dev

By default, the application will run at http://localhost:5173.


Documentation Site

To run this documentation site locally:

bash
# Start VitePress dev server
bun run docs:dev

It will automatically trigger Playwright to capture the latest screenshots of the editor and then start VitePress.
