   Adjust PAYLOAD_PUBLIC_SITE_URL in the .env if your front-end is running on a separate domain or port.

3. Ensure MongoDB is running and DATABASE_URL points to it (for example mongodb://127.0.0.1/payload-example-tailwind-shadcn-ui)

4. pnpm dev, yarn dev or npm run dev to start the server

   • Press y when prompted to seed the database

5. open http://localhost:3000 to access the home page
