## 🚀 Self-Hosting

Deploy your own private prompt library with custom branding, themes, and authentication.

**Quick Start:**
```bash
npx prompts.chat new my-prompt-library
cd my-prompt-library
```

**Manual Setup:**
```bash
git clone https://github.com/f/prompts.chat.git
cd prompts.chat
npm install && npm run setup
```

The setup wizard configures branding, theme, authentication (GitHub/Google/Azure AD), and features.

**Recommended database:** prompts.chat uses PostgreSQL. For a hosted database, we recommend [Neon](https://get.neon.com/VqfnMo4).
