Run SEIKAI Stories Offline: A Quick Guide to Self-Hosting

Want to access SEIKAI Stories even when the main website is unavailable? You can easily self-host the application locally! This guide provides simple steps for setting it up, even if you're not a developer. You'll learn how to run SEIKAI Stories offline for uninterrupted access.

1. Grab the Project Files: Two Easy Methods

Option A: Git Clone (For the Tech-Savvy)

If you're comfortable with Git:
```
git clone https://github.com/lezzthanthree/SEKAI-Stories.git
```
This downloads the project directly to your computer.
Option B: Manual Download (For Everyone)
1. Head over to the repository: https://github.com/lezzthanthree/SEKAI-Stories
2. Click the green "Code" button.
3. Select "Download ZIP."
4. Extract the downloaded ZIP file to your desired location.

2. Install Node.js From Official Website or the NVM Tool

The SEIKAI Stories app relies on Node.js to function. You need to have it installed on your system. Choose the installation method that suits your comfort level.

Option A: Direct Installation
1. Visit nodejs.org.
2. Download the latest stable version of Node.js for your operating system.
3. Run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions.
Option B: Using NVM (Node Version Manager) – For Advanced Users

The Node Version Manager is useful to have multiple versions of Node.js simultaneously, but is not a requirement for setting up the app.

3. Install Dependencies Through Terminal Commands

Get ready to finalize the installation by installing all dependencies the project requires.

Open your terminal or command prompt.
Navigate to the project folder where you unzipped (or cloned) the files. Use the cd command (e.g., cd path/to/SEKAI-Stories).
Run the install command:
```
npm install
```
npm install downloads and installs all necessary packages.

4. Run SEIKAI Stories Offline

Now that everything is set up, start the application!

In your terminal, within the project folder, run the command:
```
npm start
```
The app should now be running locally! Usually, it will be accessible through your web browser at http://localhost:3000 or a similar address.

Enjoy uninterrupted access to SEIKAI Stories by running it locally! This ensures you can always enjoy the content, even when the main site experiences downtime.
