3. You need two terminals open, one for running the backend and the other for running the frontend.
4. cd frontend and run npm install to install the dependencies.
5. cd backend and run pip install -r requirements.txt to install the dependencies.
6. Run frontend using npm start and backend using fastapi dev main.py in the respective terminals.
7. You can now start writing your code.
