This project consists of a backend server and a frontend application. Follow the instructions below to set up and run both components.

1. Navigate to the server directory: cd server

2. Create a virtual environment (optional but recommended): python -m venv venv

3. Activate the virtual environment:

• On Windows:

  venv\Scripts\activate
  

• On macOS and Linux:

  source venv/bin/activate
  

4. Install the required Python packages: pip install -r requirements.txt

5. Run the backend server on port 8080: python manage.py runserver 8080

Make sure to specify port 8080 as it is required to connect to the frontend.

1. Navigate to the client directory: cd client

2. Install all frontend dependencies using npm: npm install

If you encounter any issues, make sure you have Node.js installed, or run npm i -f to forcefully install dependencies.

3. Run the frontend application: npm run dev

The frontend will run on port 5173 by default.

• Once both the backend and frontend are running, you can access the application in your web browser at the following URLs:

• Frontend: http://localhost:5173

• Backend: http://localhost:8080

Ensure that the frontend is set up to communicate with the backend on port 8080, as mentioned in the project's requirements.

Happy coding!
