Prerequisites

• Node.js 14.16

To run the storefront, you have to set the NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URI environment variable to point to the Saleor GraphQL API.
If you are running Saleor locally, with the default settings, NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URI is set to: http://localhost:8000/graphql/.
To change it, either create a .env.local file and add it there or set an env variable using export command.
