Quickstart

Use this guide to run the Pinter frontend on your machine.

Prerequisites

Bun 1.0 or later.
Pinter backend running on http://localhost:8000.
Node.js 20.17.0 or later if you run the Mintlify CLI. (Mintlify not support node 25+)

From pinter-fe:

bun install

Create .env from the example file:

cp .env.example .env

Set the backend URL:

VITE_API_URL=http://localhost:8000
VITE_PROJECT_TITLE=Pinter

Never commit real credentials or production secrets to the repository.

bun run dev

The frontend runs on http://localhost:3000.

bun run typecheck
bun run lint
bun run build

Install the Mintlify CLI once:

npm i -g mint

Run the docs server from pinter-fe/docs:

mint dev --port 3001

The docs preview runs on http://localhost:3001. Use port 3001 because the Pinter frontend uses 3000.
