Getting Started: Local Setup

Welcome to the local setup guide for the Flutter News App Toolkit. To get the full ecosystem running on your local machine, you will need to set up each of the three core components: the API Server, the Web Dashboard, and the Mobile Client.

Follow the guides below in the recommended order to ensure a smooth setup process.

1. Set Up the API Server

   Start by getting the backend running. The API server handles data, authentication, and configuration for both the dashboard and the mobile app.
