1. Create a local postgres database with your own username and password. You will connect to this for your local backend project.
2. Create 32 char random secret key for your local setup. Run openssl rand -base64 32. Copy the value you will be using this to add as SECRET_KEY for django settings.

We are using Python/Django for backend and Next.js for frontend.

Once you clone the repository start backend server.

1. Go to backend directory cd backend
2. Run pip install -r requirements.txt to install all backend libararies.
3. Create .backend_env to include backend environment variables. Note: Connect with other collaborators to get env variables

5. Run server using python manage.py runserver.
6. If you want to run tests suite use this command: python manage.py test. If you want to run a specific test file or test class run this command: python manage.py test <file_path> or <file_path + class_name>
