# ⚡ FIXED - Linux Quick Start Guide

## Problem Fixed ✅

The database directory creation issue has been resolved. The scripts now automatically create the `db/` directory if it doesn't exist.

## Installation Steps (Linux/Mac)

### Step 1: Install Dependencies
```bash
npm install
```

### Step 2: Initialize Database (NOW WORKS!)
```bash
npm run init-db
```

You should see:
```
🚀 Initializing database...
✓ Created directory: ./db
✓ Database initialized successfully!
✓ Database location: ./db/services.db
```

### Step 3: Start Development Server
```bash
npm run dev
```

Server will start on `http://localhost:3000`

## One-Command Setup

If you want to do everything at once:

```bash
npm install && npm run init-db && npm run dev
```

## Verify Setup

Check if everything is working:

```bash
bash verify.sh
```

This will check:
- ✓ Node.js installed
- ✓ npm installed
- ✓ Directories created
- ✓ Database initialized
- ✓ Key files present

## Access the Application

1. **Home Page**: http://localhost:3000
2. **Admin Panel**: http://localhost:3000/admin
3. **API**: http://localhost:3000/api/services

## Admin Credentials (Default)

Email: `admin@example.com`
Password: `changeme`

(Can be changed in `.env` file)

## Troubleshooting

### Still getting SQLITE_CANTOPEN?

Run these commands to clean and restart:

```bash
rm -rf db/
rm -rf sessions/
npm run init-db
npm run dev
```

### Port 3000 already in use?

Change the port in `.env`:
```
PORT=3001
```

Then restart: `npm run dev`
