Install Appwrite

Appwrite provides a Node SDK that can be used in your Astro apps. You can use Appwrite by installing the Node SDK as an NPM package. The Node SDK is intended for server-side use. If you want to use Appwrite in a client-side application, you should use the Web SDK instead.

Bash

npm install node-appwrite

Add Node adapter to Astro
