Open your browser at <http://localhost:3000>

Connect your wallet which you used to create the candy machine, You should see an `initialize` button, Click it and then click `Create LUT`, Copy the LUT address that you see in the success box and paste it into the `.env` file as the value for `NEXT_PUBLIC_LUT`

Add your candy machine groups to the settings.tsx file. Optional, `E.g. if one of your groups is called WL you should have an entry for it in there`

you can modify `settings.tsx` to change the texts and images.
