Run the Application

Option 1: Using Docker (Recommended)

1. In the root of the project, run:

   docker-compose up

2. This will create and run Docker containers for the backend, frontend, and database.

Option 2: Manual Setup

If Docker is not available, follow these steps to start the application manually:

1. Start the Backend:

   • Open a terminal and navigate to the backend/src directory:

     cd backend/src

   • Run the backend using:

     dotnet run

2. Start the Frontend:

   • Open a second terminal and navigate to the frontend directory:

     cd frontend

   • Install necessary modules:

     npm i

   • Start the frontend using:

     npm start

3. Set Up the Database:

   • Ensure the database is up and running.
   • Update the connection string in the appsettings.json file located in backend/src to match your database configuration.
