• Node.js v12 or above
• Visit https://api.nasa.gov/ and generate a private API key for personal use

• Clone this repository

• Install all the framework dependencies

npm i 

• Create and env file and add your personal key like this

REACT_APP_NASA_API_KEY = <Your_own_personal_key>

• To build the application, so the environmental variables are set, run the command:

npm run build

ℹ️ Every single time the env file is modified this command must be run once again, so the environmental variables are updated.

• Then, you can run the application:

npm start

React JS will automatically create a local server to deploy the application.

If you want to run the application and see it reflected on GitHub pages Add the secrets to your own repository:

REACT_APP_NASA_API_KEY = <Your_own_personal_key>
ACTIONS_DEPLOY_ACCESS_TOKEN = <Your_own_personal_token_generated_by_github>

The yaml file is already set to retrieve both secrets for deploying de CD/CI pipeline and the environmental variables.
