npm install turbo --global
```
Dependencies: Run the following command to install all the required dependencies:
```
pnpm install
```

Execution

Development Server: Start the development server.
```
turbo dev
```
Access: Post successful execution, the extension application will be accessible at http://localhost:5173, and the landing page at http://localhost:3000.
build: To build the extension and the landing page run turbo build and the output folder would be created, dist for the extension and .next for the landing page app. You can use this dist folder to import in the chrome browser in the extension section to test and use it locally.
