Short: this repo is an older Gatsby starter. To run locally and deploy to Vercel reliably, use Node 18 and the steps below.

Prerequisites

• Node 18.x (use nvm-windows or installer)
• Python 3.11 (only required if you run npm install locally and native modules need to compile)
• Git and a Vercel account (optional if you prefer to upload public/)

Quick local dev (recommended)

1. Install Node 18 and open a fresh terminal.
2. Install deps (the repo forces legacy peer deps): npm install
3. Run in dev mode: npm run develop

Production build (locally, then deploy static)

1. Ensure dependencies are installed (see above).
2. Increase Node memory then build:

   PowerShell

   $env:NODE_OPTIONS="--max-old-space-size=8192" npm run build
3. public/ will contain the static site.

Deploy options

• Let Vercel build: commit package-lock.json and .npmrc (legacy-peer-deps) and set Build Command = npm run build, Output = public. Ensure Project Node version is 18 in Vercel settings. If Vercel build fails, use the local build flow below.
• Deploy the static public/ folder: build locally and then use npx vercel --prod public or upload via the Vercel dashboard.

Notes

• This project contains older/deprecated plugins. For small edits and deploys the above workflow is stable. For long-term maintenance, upgrade Gatsby plugins and dependencies.
