Quick Start

Prerequisites

Before you begin using BlinxAI, ensure that you have the following requirements installed and configured:

1. Node.js (>= 16.x)

BlinxAI relies on Node.js for execution. To check if you have the correct version installed, run:

node -v

If you need to install or upgrade Node.js, visit Node.js Official Website.

2. npm (or yarn) Installed

You need a package manager like npm or yarn to install dependencies.

• Check if npm is installed:

  npm -v

• If you prefer yarn, install it using:

  npm install --global yarn

3. A Valid Bitquery API Key

BlinxAI fetches blockchain data using Bitquery. You need an API key to interact with Bitquery’s services.

• Sign up at Bitquery

• Generate an API key from your account settings.

• Store the API key securely.

4. Configure Environment Variables

BlinxAI requires environment variables for configuration. Refer to .env.example for the necessary parameters:

1. Copy the .env.example file to .env:

   cp .env.example .env

2. Open the .env file and replace placeholder values with your actual credentials.

Once these prerequisites are set up, you are ready to install and configure BlinxAI for development!
