Introduction
Courier is a development tool that allows you to write code locally and view the results instantly. Once you're satisfied with your work, you can push it to your Blutui project for review. Courier is designed to offer the best of both worlds by integrating local workflow with the cloud, thereby making development faster, more enjoyable, and more creative. This guide outlines the steps to install and set up Courier on a macOS machine.
Prerequisites
- Homebrew installed.
- Administrative access for local setup and cloud connectivity.
