• Node.js (LTS version recommended)
• npm or yarn
• SQLite (included with Python)

Backend Setup

1. Navigate to the backend directory:

cd backend

2. Create and activate a virtual environment:

python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows use: venv\Scripts\activate

3. Install dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

4. Run database migrations:

python manage.py migrate

python manage.py runserver

The backend will be available at http://localhost:8000

Frontend Setup

cd frontend

2. Install dependencies:

npm install
# or if you use yarn:
yarn install

3. Start the development server:

npm run dev

yarn dev

The frontend will be available at http://localhost:5173

Development

• Backend API documentation is available at http://localhost:8000/api/docs/ when the server is running
• Frontend hot-reloading is enabled by default
• Backend hot-reloading is enabled by default with Django's development server

Project Structure
