Setting up strapi

This plugin assumes that you are familiar with strapi. If you have not used it before, visit the official docs for more info -

https://strapi.io/documentation/developer-docs/latest/getting-started/quick-start.html

• Create a new strapi project using our template.

  npx [email protected] strapi-medusa --template https://github.com/Deathwish98/strapi-medusa-template.git
    
  OR
    
  yarn create strapi-app strapi-medusa --template https://github.com/Deathwish98/strapi-medusa-template.git

• Start strapi server.

  npm run develop <---- For development purposes
    
  OR 
    
  npm run start

  NOTE: If you are using SQLite there is a known knex.js bug -

  error KnexTimeoutError: Knex: Timeout acquiring a connection. The pool is probably full. Are you missing a .transacting(trx) call?

  It appears after running npm run develop for the first time . Just run the command again and it should disappear.
