Setting up

To set this project running locally, first clone this repository.

Now rename .env.example file to .env in both the /client and /server directories.

Open a terminal for /client and another for /server. Install the node dependencies with npm i in both terminals.

Run the client app with npm start and the server app with npm run dev.

Open http://localhost:5000 in your browser to view the application.

Remember to have a MongoDB server running, otherwise the server app will throw an error.
