- Run
npm installin the project directory to install the necessary dependencies. - Set up a Cloudinary account and obtain your API key, API secret, and cloud name.
- Create a
.envfile in the root directory of the project and add the following information:
CLOUDINARY_API_KEY=your_api_key CLOUDINARY_API_SECRET=your_api_secret CLOUDINARY_CLOUD_NAME=your_cloud_name
