Installation
Once you have downloaded Alpha Fusion, follow these steps to initialize your project.
1. Select Your Edition
Inside the main archive downloaded from the marketplace, you will find two distinct versions. It is crucial to choose the right one for your needs.
📦 Alpha Fusion Demo (alpha-fusion-demo.zip)
This is the Reference Version. It contains every available page, UI kit, and feature pre-built.
- Use case: Copying code snippets, checking examples, or understanding layout structures.
- Advice: Do not start your project with this. It contains heavy assets and unnecessary code that will bloat your application.
🚀 Alpha Fusion Starter (alpha-fusion-starter.zip)
This is the Skeleton Version. It includes only the core framework, authentication logic, and essential configurations.
- Use case: The perfect foundation for building your real-world application.
- Advice: Always use this to begin development.
Important
Never use the Demo version as your project base. Building on top of the Demo version will result in a messy codebase and poor performance due to unused components. Always build on the Starter version.
2. Workspace Setup
Extract the .zip file of your chosen version (preferably Starter) into your local development folder.
Pro Tip: GitHub Workflow
Instead of manually downloading ZIP files, we recommend forking the Alpha Fusion repository directly from GitHub (if you have access). This method simplifies version control and makes merging future updates much easier.
3. Install Dependencies
Open your terminal or command prompt and navigate to the root directory of your extracted project (where the package.json file is located).
Execute the following command to download the necessary libraries:
sh
npm install
