I'm working on a project where I need to implement decentralized file storage, and I've decided to use IPFS (InterPlanetary File System) for this purpose. I want to integrate IPFS locally on my machine for development and testing before deploying it in a production environment.
I've done some research and understand the basics of IPFS, but I'm having trouble with the practical steps to get it running locally and integrating it with my application.
