Installation

Project Initialization

1. Create a new folder and switch to it in the terminal
2. Run azd login

   [!NOTE] if you are using a non-Microsoft account, and if running CodeSpaces in the browser, you will need to run:

   azd login --tenant <your tenant id> --use-device-code=false

   You may receive an error with message localhost refused to connect after logging in. If so:
