Install Python and Node.js

Note: The frontend runs using node.js and the backend uses python with FastAPI and uvicorn

Make sure you have Python 3.9+ installed

Make sure you have Node.js 18+ installed

Check versions:

node -v
npm -v

---

Create a virtual environment

Run this inside the backend/ folder (one time only):

cd backend/
python -m venv .venv
pip install fastapi uvicorn
python -m uvicorn main:app --reload --port 8000

---

Inside of both frontend and my-app

This frontend runs on React using Vite for the dev server.
It talks to the FastAPI backend at http://localhost:8000.

npm install

Then,

Run this inside the frontend/ folder

cd frontend/
npm run dev

To run the server follow all directions and see what port vite decides to run the server on. The base port is http://localhost:5173, however if there is something already running there vite may choose a different port.
