If you're just getting started, the easiest way to get up and running with Val and NextJS is to use npm (or similar) create script:

After creating your project, start the development server:

Open your browser to http://localhost:3000/val to access the Val editor. You can edit content directly in the UI, and changes are saved to your .val.ts files.

When this is completed you can optionally connect your project to Val Build services.
