To run this app with the backend you need to have Node.js installed. You can download it from here (use the LTS version 18.12.1) or use nvm (Node Version Manager) to install it. You can find instructions on how to install nvm here.
To make the app easier to run with the backend, we have deployed the server to Heroku. You can find the link to the server here to test it yourself, but that is not necessary to run the app.
To run the app you should use the Expo-app on your phone's appstore (Google Play or IOS Appstore), or use an Android emulator (or an IOS emulator on Mac). You can find instructions on how to set up an emulator here.
