CMU capstone project: Automated meal planner and grocery list

Local / demo setup

Set-up Instructions

The env files with demo keys are committed as examples. One-time setup:

1. Backend
   • cp backend/.env.example backend/.env
2. Frontend
   • cp frontend/.env.local.example frontend/.env.local
3. MongoDB – ensure MongoDB is running locally (e.g. mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017).
4. Run
   • Backend: cd backend && npm install && npm run dev
   • Frontend: cd frontend && npm install && npm run dev
   • Open http://localhost:8080 (or the port Vite prints).
5. Optional – seed recipes: cd backend && npm run seed:general

(For production, use your own Auth0 tenant and Spoonacular API key; do not commit real .env.)
