How to start/setup locally?

Hi!

Thank you for your project, it looks great, but i have trouble setting it up locally. I executed all commands, but i only got firebase dashboard to show up.

firebase emulators:start
!  emulators: You are not currently authenticated so some features may not work correctly. Please run firebase login to authenticate the CLI.
i  emulators: Starting emulators: functions, hosting
!  functions: The following emulators are not running, calls to these services from the Functions emulator will affect production: auth, firestore, database, pubsub
!  Your requested "node" version "12" doesn't match your global version "14"
!  functions: You are not signed in to the Firebase CLI. If you have authorized this machine using gcloud application-default credentials those may be discovered and used to access production services.
!  hosting: Could not fetch web app configuration and there is no cached configuration on this machine. Check your internet connection and make sure you are authenticated. To continue, you must call firebase.initializeApp({...}) in your code before using Firebase.
i  hosting: Serving hosting files from: dist

After that, you can run npm start, which will start the frontend, I think.

Ah - my apologies - Firebase does host the frontend, you just have to run a build first:

git clone <url> estimator
cd estimator
npm install
npm run build  # <-- need to run this
firebase emulators:start
