# v4 Web App
## Prerequisites
- Node.js version 18 and `pnpm` installed on your system
For deploying to IPFS, choose one of the following:
- **Option 1:** A free [web3.storage](https://web3.storage/) account
- **Option 2:** An IPFS client such as [IPFS Kubo](https://docs.ipfs.tech/install/command-line/)
For web3.storage, sign up for an account and generate an API token on the [API tokens page](https://web3.storage/manage/tokens). web3.storage offers an easy-to-use interface for storing and retrieving content on IPFS.
Alternatively, follow the [IPFS Kubo installation guide](https://docs.ipfs.tech/install/command-line/) to download the IPFS command-line tool.
## Part 1: Setting up your local environment
### Step 1: Clone the repo
Clone the repository and navigate to its directory:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/dydxprotocol/trader-fe.git
cd trader-fe
```
### Step 2: Install pnpm and dependencies
Install pnpm and the project dependencies:
```bash
npm i -g pnpm
pnpm i
```
## Part 2: Running the project locally
Run the following command in the project directory to start the development server:
```bash
pnpm dev
```
The development server will be running at `http://localhost:5173` (or the port number displayed in the terminal). Visit this URL to interact with the web app and see your changes in real-time.
To view component stories:
```bash
pnpm ladle
```
This will automatically open your default browser at `http://localhost:61000`.
## Part 3: Deploying to IPFS
### web3.storage: deploy to IPFS via web3.storage using the provided script
Export the API token as an environment variable (replace `your_token` with the generated token), and run the script to build and deploy to IPFS:
```bash
export WEB3_STORAGE_TOKEN=your_token
pnpm run deploy:ipfs
```
Save the URL provided in the output, as it is the link to your deployed content on IPFS.
### IPFS client: deploy with the command-line tool
To use the IPFS command-line tool, run:
```bash
ipfs add -r dist
```
Save the CID provided in the output.
## Part 4: Accessing your content on IPFS
To access your content on IPFS:
1. **Native IPFS support in a browser:** Use a browser with native IPFS support, such as Brave or Opera. Enable a local IPFS node and visit the URL directly using the IPNS protocol, like `ipfs://your_cid`.
2. **Public IPFS gateway:** Access your content via a public IPFS gateway, such as [https://dweb.link](https://dweb.link/) or [https://w3s.link/](https://w3s.link/). Use the gateway URL with your CID appended, like `https://dweb.link/ipfs/your_cid`.
Replace `your_cid` with the actual CID.
