This is a multi part series on creating, building, and deploying production grade web apps and microSaaS

Overview

Set up a consistent Next.js app project environment, install Node.js, Git, GitHub CLI, Vercel, and Cursor, then use a setup script to create new apps. I also show how to auto-commit changes with a quick push command and view your app locally or live on Vercel.

What you’ll achieve here

• [ ] Have all programs and dependencies installed locally e.g. Node.js npm gh
• [ ] Your Github account configured (git config --global user.name and user.email)
• [ ] GitHub CLI (gh) installed and authenticated gh auth login
• [ ] Vercel installed and ready to deploy your app
• [ ] Cursor Desktop installed and auto connected to your GitHub
• [ ] Using a setup script ./setup-nextjs.sh my-new-app "My app description” to always build the same setup files for your app

Requirements

# Check Node.js
node --version
# If not installed: brew install node

# Check Git
git --version
# If not installed: brew install git

# Check GitHub CLI
gh --version
# If not installed: brew install gh
# Then authenticate: gh auth login

# Check npm
npm --version
# Comes with Node.js

For GitHub CLI:

• Authenticate once: gh auth login (follow the prompts)
  • If gh asks for authentication, run gh auth login first (and choose GitHub.com -> SSH option).
