1. Clone this repository

Clone the repository to your local machine:

2. Set up the database

Ensure MariaDB is installed and running on your server. You can use PHPMyAdmin to manage the database.

• Create a database and tables as required for your application.

4. Install Dependencies

Make sure you have Node.js installed, then run the following command to install all dependencies:

npm install

5. Start the App

For Ubuntu Servers: Use the provided shell scripts to run the app.

• ngrok.sh: Starts ngrok to allow external access to your app through the internet.
• pizza.sh: Starts the server via screen to run the app in the background. To run both scripts, use the following commands:

./ngrok.sh
./pizza.sh

This will set up the application, run the server in the background, and allow it to be accessed externally via ngrok.
