Hello Greetings,

I’m using Shopify’s latest create app example https://shopify.dev/docs/apps/getting-started/create

But now, when I’m trying to deploy it on Hostinger’s VPS Server I’m stuck like from where to start.

I tried uploading my entire code on the server and then running the npm run dev and npm build commands but nothing happened.

So can anyone please help me out for a basic setup of app on VPS server?

For example, which files should I upload and how the installation process would work after setting up the code.

Thanks,

Somin Parate.
