This project has been built in React frontend with a Node backend written in Typescript. This means that to get this running locally, you will have to run two installation scripts. You must have Node.js and consequentially npm installed.
In any folder, issue the following command:
npm i -g typescriptIn the root folder, issue the following installation command:
npm iThis should install a number of dependencies and development dependencies to a folder called node_modules, where your packages live.
Now, go into the client folder and issue the same command. Like so:
cd client
npm iThis should create a node_modules folder within the client folder.
In the root folder do
npm run devTo concurrently boot the backend server and front-end. This might take a while, but should eventually work. If there is some error you can't overcome, just reach out to me or a friend who knows JS.
