Installation
If you are only interested in running the latest version and not contributing to the source code, you don’t need to clone this repo. You can get the latest version through npm.
The easy way: using a server (recommended)
The easiest way to get Actual running is to use the actual-server project. That is the server for syncing changes across devices, and it comes with the latest version of Actual. The server will provide both the web project and a server for syncing.
