Backend Setup

1. Navigate to the backend folder:

   cd backend
   

2. Install the required dependencies using pip (ensure you have Python and pip installed):

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   

3. Run the Flask server:

   python app.py
   

   This will start the backend server, which will be accessible at http://localhost:5000.

Frontend Setup

1. Navigate to the frontend folder:

   cd frontend
   

2. Install the required dependencies using npm or pnpm (ensure you have Node.js installed):

   # Using npm
   npm install
   
   # Using pnpm
   pnpm install
   

3. Start the development server:

   # Using npm
   npm run dev
   
   # Using pnpm
   pnpm run dev
   

   This will compile the frontend code and start a development server. You can access the frontend application in your browser at http://localhost:8000.

Accessing the Application

Once both the backend and frontend servers are running, you can access the full application by navigating to http://localhost:8000 in your web browser. The frontend will communicate with the backend API running at http://localhost:5000 to fetch data and perform actions as needed.

Additional Notes

• Make sure you have the necessary permissions and dependencies installed to run both the backend and frontend components.
• You may need to customize certain configurations, such as database connections or API endpoints, based on your specific requirements.
• For production deployment, consider building the frontend assets and serving them statically from the backend server, or deploying them separately on a suitable hosting platform.
