Now to get started,
I created a brand new project,
a brand new Next.JS project,
and I created it just as shown in the last course section.
I did attach this project here though,
which I created, because I pre-configured it a little bit.
I cleaned it up a bit to be precise.
The pages folder is pretty empty here.
The styles folder only has one styles file
with some predefined styles I've set up for you,
and therefore I do recommend
that you do download this attached snapshot
so that we're all starting with the same base.
And once you did download it, make sure that for example
through the integrated terminal here,
you then run NPM install to install all the dependencies
that are required for this project.
And for this command to succeed, you need to make sure
that NPM and the other node JS is installed
on your system from node JS dot org, for example.
Now once you did that, we're all ready to go
and now let's dive into file based routing
and understand how that works in Next.JS applications.
