Installation Instructions

  1. Clone the Repository

    To get started with the chess engine, you first need to clone the repository from GitHub. Open your terminal and run the following command:

    git clone https://github.com/danialasaria/chessEngine.git

  2. Navigate to the Project Directory

    Change your current working directory to the cloned repository:

    cd chessEngine

  3. Install Dependencies

    Install the required dependencies by running:

    npm install

    This command reads the package.json file in the project directory and installs all the necessary dependencies listed there.

Running the Project

After setting up the project, you can run the HTML file in your browser. There are two main ways to do this:

  1. Using a Local Development Server

    If you prefer to run a local development server, you can use the serve method provided you have it installed. If not, you can install it globally on your machine via npm:

    npm install -g serve

    Then, start the server with:

    serve

    By default, serve will host your project on a local web server, usually accessible at http://localhost:3000. Open your web browser and go to this URL to view your project.

  2. Directly in Your Browser

  • Navigate to the project folder in your file explorer or finder.
  • Locate the HTML file you want to view and double-click on it to open it in your default web browser.
