It has 2 steps which are as follows. Make sure before these steps you must have completed the Initial Dev Environment Setup :-

1. Running the App (Web Browser)

2. Firebase Integration into our app

After successfully this step you should be able to see the following screen of the Driver app.

In our screen it says "FirebaseError: Missing or insufficient permissions" (pointed out by cursor on the screen) - but that is due to firebase connection error. This will resolve after the next step.

Go to Firebase Integration Into our App section to complete this step. Here we will setup the environment files in Ionic project to connect to right firebase instance. Previously it will have config to our sample firebase. If the connection is proper and rules and permissions are right. You should get your app working.

After completing the above step, go to the Driver App running in the browser(as shown below). Fill the necessary details as shown below and click on "Sign up".
