github.com/boxyhq/saas-starter-kitWhat happened when we ran it
3COMMANDSInstalls cleanly; the build needs configuration (environment variables or a database) before it will run. A failing build is not held against the score: most starter kits need a database URL before they will build, and that is normal. It is recorded because it is a thing a buyer wants to know and a thing a sales page will never tell them.
