Firebase is a very simple and secure way to deploy a Hoverboard site. You can sign up for a free account and deploy your application in less than 5 minutes.
The instructions below are based on the Firebase quick start.
-

npm install -g firebase-tools
The

flag instructsnpm
to install the package globally so that you can use thefirebase
command from any directory. You may need to install the package withsudo
privileges. -
cd
into your project directory -
Inititalize the Firebase application
firebase init
Running the firebase init command creates a firebase.json settings file in the root of your project directory. Otherwise, go to Firebase console to create a new app.
