Then in order to run the frontend, you'll need to navigate into the frontend folder from your terminal by doing cd frontend/.
Once there, run npm install, it will install all dependencies and once that is done, run npm run dev which should start the server.

Once done, editing any file in the frontend/src folder will automatically reload the frontend with your changes!
Install Java 17 (idk how you are supposed to do this).
Then you need to cd into the backend folder cd backend/ and run the following command based on computer.
Windows: gradlew.bat bootRun
Linux/macOS: ./gradlew bootRun
It should setup everything and start the server on port 8080. When you make changes, you'll need to do Ctrl+C in the terminal and run the command again to restart the server.
