Step 1: Clone the Repository

First, open your terminal and clone the repository to your local machine:

cd social-games

Step 2: Choose Your Setup Method

Option A: Run with npm (Standard Method)

This is the recommended approach if you have Node.js installed on your system.

1. Install Dependencies: In the project's root directory (social-games), run this command to install all the necessary packages:

   npm install

2. Build the Application: After installation, create a production build of the app:

   npm run build

3. Start the Server: Finally, start the Next.js production server:

   npm start

4. Open the App: The application will now be running at http://localhost:3000.

Option B: Run with Docker

This method is great for a consistent setup, as it bundles the application and its dependencies into a container.

1. Build the Docker Image: In the project's root directory, run the following command. This might take a few minutes the first time.

   docker build -t social-games .

2. Run the Docker Container: Once the image is built, start a container with this command:

   docker run -p 3000:3000 social-games

3. Open the App: You can now access the application by navigating to http://localhost:3000 in your web browser.
