Setup Dependencies and PNPM Catalogs

Install dependencies from the project root:

pnpm install

This guide is part of the Next.js Prisma SaaS Kit installation.

What Happens

• pnpm installs workspace dependencies
• preinstall runs the requirements check
• postinstall runs manypkg fix

Prisma Client

You can generate Prisma manually:

pnpm --filter @kit/database prisma:generate

In normal day-to-day work, apps/web already regenerates Prisma in predev and prebuild, so you usually do not need an extra pnpm i step after generation.

Catalogs

Shared dependency versions use PNPM catalogs:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "react": "catalog:",
    "next": "catalog:"
  }
}

Common Pitfalls

• Run commands from the repo root.
• Regenerate Prisma after schema changes.
• Do not assume a second install step is required after prisma:generate.
