Project Setup

Before running the full application, developers need to set up the environment variables for both the frontend (root) and the backend (server/).

1. Frontend Environment Variables: Copy the .env.example file located in the root directory to a new file named .env and fill in any required variables.

   cp .env.example .env

2. Backend Environment Variables: Navigate to the server directory and copy its .env.example file to a new .env file. Fill in your actual MONGO_DB_CONNECTION_URI and any other secrets.

   cd server
   cp .env.example .env

Seed User

If the database is connected properly and the users collection is empty, the application will automatically seed a default administrator user for development purposes.

You can log in using these credentials:

• Email: anyone@example.com
• Password: password123
