Run npm install in both the root directory (backend) as well as the frontend directory to install all necessary packages. Make sure to run it in both folders to download libraries for both.
First, create a .env file in the root directory with a PORT= variable to specify what port you want the server to run as well as MONGODB_URI= variable to connect to a MongoDB database. Then, use npm run dev in the root folder to start the backend server. Finally, use npm start inside the frontend folder to start the frontend.
This application uses the MERN stack--React in the frontend, Express / Node.js as the backend, and MongoDB as the database
The backend server code is contained in server.js with the schema specified in schema.js. All the frontend code resides in the frontend folder with React components in components and different pages in pages routed by the react router in App.js.
