I can't initialize vendure

Hi! I am trying to initialize the project but I got an error. I have searched on the internet but I didn't find a solution.

Hi,

please provide some more detail - specifically what DB are you attempting to connect to?

Hi, I am trying to connect serverless Neon Postgres database

OK, it looks like the problem is that during setup, the DB does not get configured to handle an SSL connection.

I recommend this work-around: install with SQLite, and once installed you can then edit the vendure-config.ts file and set the connection settings including the SSL part in the dbConnectionOptions.

If you then want to populate your Neon DB with the test data, you can see this guide: https://docs.vendure.io/guides/developer-guide/importing-data/#populating-test-data
