Instagram Clone Setup and Deployment Guide

1. Project Setup

Step 1: Install Node.js

Download and install Node.js from the official website (https://nodejs.org/).

Step 2: Create React App

Use the following command to create a new React project:

$ npx create-react-app instagram-clone

Navigate to the project folder: $ cd instagram-clone

Step 3: Install Dependencies

Install necessary packages:

$ npm install firebase react-router-dom @mui/material @emotion/react @emotion/styled

2. Firebase Setup

Step 1: Create Firebase Project

Go to Firebase Console (https://console.firebase.google.com/) and create a new project. Enable Firestore,

Firebase Authentication (for Google and Email/Password sign-in), and Firebase Storage.

Step 2: Firebase SDK Setup

In your React project, create a firebase.js file and configure Firebase:

```js

import { initializeApp } from 'firebase/app';

import { getFirestore } from 'firebase/firestore';

import { getAuth } from 'firebase/auth';

import { getStorage } from 'firebase/storage';

const firebaseConfig = {/* Your Firebase Config */};

const app = initializeApp(firebaseConfig);


const db = getFirestore(app);

const auth = getAuth(app);

const storage = getStorage(app);

export { db, auth, storage };

```

3. Building the App

Step 1: Authentication

Set up user authentication using Firebase Authentication (Google, Email/Password). You can use Firebase's

pre-built sign-in methods or create a custom UI.

Step 2: Posting, Comments, and Likes

Use Firestore to store posts, comments, and likes. You can store the image in Firebase Storage and store

the image URL in Firestore along with other post data.

4. Deploying to Firebase Hosting

Step 1: Install Firebase Tools

Install Firebase CLI globally: $ npm install -g firebase-tools

Step 2: Initialize Firebase

Run $ firebase init and choose 'Hosting'. Connect it to your Firebase project.

Step 3: Build and Deploy

Build your project: $ npm run build

Deploy to Firebase: $ firebase deploy

5. Updating the App on Firebase

To update your app on Firebase Hosting, follow these steps:

1. Make the necessary code changes in your project.

2. Build the updated version using $ npm run build.

3. Run $ firebase deploy to push the new version to Firebase.
