Clone the repository for both client and server.

1. Navigate to the client folder.
2. Install dependencies using npm install.
3. Start the client using npm start.
4. The client will run on http://localhost:3000 by default.

1. Navigate to the server folder.

2. Install dependencies using npm install.

3. Create a .env file in the root directory of the server folder.

4. Inside the .env file, define the following environmental variables:

   DATABASE_URI=your_mongodb_connection_string ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET=your_access_token_secret REFRESH_TOKEN_SECRET=your_refresh_token_secret

   Replace your_mongodb_connection_string with your MongoDB connection string and your_access_token_secret and your_refresh_token_secret with 64-bit hex strings.

   Generating 64-bit Hex String

   To generate a 64-bit hex string, follow these steps:

   1. Open your terminal or command prompt.

   2. Enter the Node

   3. In CLI type,

   // Command to generate Access Token and Refresh Token
   require('crypto').randomBytes(64).toString('hex')

   in a Node.js CLI.

5. Start the server using npm start for production or npm run dev for development.

6. The server will run on http://localhost:3500.
