    • git clone https://github.com/notum-cz/strapi-next-monorepo-starter

    • yarn dev:strapi
    • Go to Strapi admin URL and navigate to Settings > API Tokens. 
    • Select "Create new API token" and copy it's value to STRAPI_REST_READONLY_API_KEY in /apps/ui/.env.local file.
  4. yarn dev
    • Open your browser and go to http://localhost:3000 to see the UI app in action.
