Assuming that Node.js is already installed.

• MongoDB : NoSQL database
• Mongosh : MongoDB shell
• Pnpm : Package manager (optional but recommended)

1. Install the dependencies.

This will install all the dependencies for both the backend and the frontend

pnpm install:all

1. Make sure your MongoDB server is running.

This is for linux systems only. For windows, please refer to the official documentation.

# Start the server
sudo systemctl start mongod

# Check the status
sudo systemctl status mongod

1. Seed the database with test data.

You can find the initial seed data in backend/scripts/test-data.json.
If needed you can also modify this file to add more data for testing purposes.

pnpm backend:seed

1. Start the application.

This will start both the backend and the frontend servers in development mode concurrently.

pnpm start:dev

If you want to start the backend and the frontend servers separately, you can use the following commands.

# Start the backend server
pnpm backend:dev

# Start the frontend server
pnpm frontend:dev
