TruNews - A News Aggregator with AI Fact-Checking

TruNews is a project that aims to showcase multiple news articles and utilize AI to detect contradictory news. Users can upvote, downvote, and publish news articles.

Getting Started - Run frontend, backend, and AI component concurrently

Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following installed on your system:

• Node.js and npm
• Python (preferably Python 3.x)
• Necessary dependencies for each component

To run the frontend, follow these steps:

  cd frontend
  npm install
  npm run dev

To set up the backend, follow these steps:

  cd backend
  npm install
  npm start

For the AI component, follow these steps:

For Linux, instead of setup.bat run bash commands.sh

 cd ai
 setup.bat
 python main.py

Common Issues

• Dependencies: Make sure you have all the necessary dependencies installed. If you encounter any issues, check the package.json for frontend and backend, and requirements.txt for the AI component.
• Port Conflicts: Ensure that the ports used by the frontend (usually 5173), backend (usually 4000), and AI component are not being used by other applications.
