Galaxy Charts

Getting Started

Set up a new Galaxy Charts visualization project using the Galaxy Charts UI starter.

The Galaxy Charts UI starter is the quickest path when you want auto-generated forms and Vue helpers. For other stacks, see the Vite-only approach.

1. Set Up Your Repository

  1. Sign in to your GitHub account.
  2. Go to the Galaxy Charts Starter repository.
  3. Click on Use this template and select Create a new repository.
  4. Name your new repository (e.g., MY_VISUALIZATION), then complete the setup by clicking Create repository.

2. Clone Your Repository

Open a terminal window and clone your newly created repository:

git clone https://github.com/USERNAME/MY_VISUALIZATION

Replace USERNAME with your GitHub username and MY_VISUALIZATION with your repository name.

3. Initialize Your Visualization Project

Navigate to your project directory and set up the environment:

cd MY_VISUALIZATION
npm install
npm run dev

4. Next Steps

Open a web browser and navigate to the localhost URL displayed in your terminal (typically in the format http://localhost:PORT):
