If you have bought a license for MakerKit, you have access to all the
repositories built by the MakerKit team. In this document, we will learn how
to fetch and install the codebase.

### Requirements

To get started with the Remix and Supabase SaaS template, we need to ensure
you install the required software.

- Node.js
- Git
- Docker

### Remix Versions

The current main uses Remix v2.

### Cloning the repository

To get the codebase on your local machine, clone the repository with the
following command:

```
git clone git@github.com:makerkit/remix-supabase-saas-kit.git my-saas
```

The command above clones the repository in the folder `my-saas` which
you can rename it with the name of your project.

### Initializing Git

Now, run the following commands for:

1. Moving into the folder
2. Adding the remote to your own Git repository (if you haven't created a Git repository yet, you can do it later on)
3. Adding the original Makerkit repository as "upstream" so we can fetch updates from the main repository:

```
cd my-saas
git remote rm origin
git remote add origin <your-git-repository>
git remote add upstream git@github.com:makerkit/remix-supabase-saas-kit.git
git add .
git commit -a -m "Initial Commit"
```

In this way, to fetch updates (after committing your files), simply run:

```
git pull upstream main
```

If it doesn't work, try with:

```
git pull upstream main --allow-unrelated-histories
```

You'll likely run into conflicts when running this command, so carefully choose the changes (sorry!).

### Installing the Node dependencies

Finally, we can install the NodeJS dependencies with `npm`:

```
npm i
```

While the application code is fully working, we now need to set up your Supabase
project.

So let's jump on to the next step!
