For n8n, we typically interact with its API from the backend, so no direct npm installation is required for the front-end. We'll focus on setting up the backend separately and connecting it through API calls. https://chatgpt.com/share/2588939d-8f27-4f42-befb-4e79f75e2656

To set up and configure n8n, you can follow these general steps:

  1. Installation: Install n8n either via Docker, npm, or using one of the provided packages. You can find installation instructions on the n8n website.

  2. Configuration: Once installed, you'll need to configure n8n. This involves setting up authentication (if required) and configuring any integrations you plan to use, such as Google Calendar. You'll likely need to obtain API keys or credentials from the services you're integrating with.

  3. Workflow Creation: In n8n, workflows are created using a visual editor. You'll design workflows that define how data should flow between different services, such as fetching data from Google Calendar and sending it to your backend.

  4. Testing and Debugging: Test your workflows to ensure they're functioning as expected. n8n provides tools for debugging and monitoring workflow execution.
