Okay, now you know what we're learning, let's actually look at how you're going to learn it. All of the interactive stuff you're going to do in this course is going to be done inside a GitHub repo.
So your first job is to clone the repo down:
git clone https://github.com/ai-hero-dev/ai-sdk-v5-crash-course.gitcd ai-sdk-v5-crash-course
Next, let's install the dependencies via pnpm install:
pnpm install
If you don't have PNPM installed, install it first via this link.
Next, let's copy the .env.example file to .env:
cp .env.example .env
Finally, let me show you how to run an exercise. You go into the terminal and you run:
pnpm dev
Check out the video above for a demo for what gets shown.
If you encounter any issues with this setup, then I recommend you run:
pnpm dev --simple
This will give you a slightly more robust experience, which is useful when you're doing this from an unusual operating system.
Of course if you have any issues with this setup then let me know in the Discord and I will help you out.
The process for taking the course is to either watch the video or read the text below. Every single one of these exercise texts also has a steps to complete section at the bottom, which gives you a really clear step-by-step guide to follow.
Keep working through the exercises, and before you know it, you'll have mastered the AI SDK. And if you have any questions or queries or any confusions at all, then ping them into the Discord. That is what it's for.
Thanks so much for taking the course and I will see you in the next one.
