Install and configure react-messenger

Follow the source instructions for react-messenger. Read the prerequisites and configuration steps before running an example.

Run locally

Use Node.js 24.21.0 (.nvmrc included) and npm 12.2.0. Node.js 24.15.0–24.x or 26+ is required by npm 12.

1npm ci
2npm run dev

Open http://localhost:3000. For production:

1npm run build
2npm start

npm start now runs the Next.js production server; use npm run dev for development. Deploy using any Node.js host that supports Next.js. No environment variables or external accounts are required for demo mode. Live assistant mode is optional and requires the server settings below.

Check the installation

After setup, continue with the first example. If a command fails, compare the runtime version, working directory, and required configuration with the original README before changing dependencies.
