# Quick Start

1. Fork the repository and clone it locally. The default branch is v3 of the NFT program.

```bash
git clone https://github.com/your_username/art-factory && cd art-factory
```

2. (Optional) If you'd like to deploy a different version of the NFT program, checkout that version's branch and proceed with the steps below. E.g. if you'd like to launch the private mint version of the NFT contract:

```bash
git checkout v4
```

3. Edit the `./.env` file

```properties
ADDRESS=aleo1_your_address_here
PROGRAM_NAME=your_nft_unique_name.aleo
RPC_URL=https://testnet3.aleorpc.com
URL=https://privacypride.com
TWITTER=https://twitter.com/theLeoWallet
DISCORD=https://link.leo.app/discord
```

The `address` should be the address of the account who will be the admin for the NFT program. This address should deploy the program and will be responsible for controlling the whitelist and adding NFTs to the collection.

4. Configure the Aleo program

You need to install yarn and then run:

```bash
yarn && yarn copy-program
```

This will rename the program and ensure that only your provided address in the `.env` is allowed to manage the program once it's published on chain.

5. Commit & Push the Repository

```bash
git add . && git commit -m "My awesome NFT collection" && git push origin main
```

6. Connect to Vercel & Your site should be live

You'll need to create an account with Vercel & Follow the instructions here: <https://vercel.com/docs/concepts/deployments/git/vercel-for-github>

It should all be able to be done without writing any code.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://art.privacypride.com/quick-start.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
