2. Setting up the Backend:

   • Open a terminal or command prompt and navigate to the "backend" directory.
   • Install the required Node.js modules by running the command:

     npm install
     

   • Start the backend server using the command:

     npm run dev
     

3. Setting up the Frontend:

   • Open another terminal or command prompt and navigate to the "frontend" directory.
   • Install the required Node.js modules by running the command:

     npm install
     

   • Start the frontend development server using the command:
