Using Station Guide

This project utilizes React for the frontend and Express for the backend, providing a robust foundation for your web application development.

Prerequisites

To get started, you'll need the following:

• Node.js (version 14 or later): https://nodejs.org/en/
• npm (Node Package Manager) comes bundled with Node.js

Getting Started

1. Clone the Repository

Understanding Cloning:

Cloning creates a local copy of the project on your computer, allowing you to work on it independently. This local copy is a mirror image of the original repository on GitHub or similar platforms.

Use Git to clone this repository into your local development environment:

git clone https://github.com/dhairyagothi/StationGuide.git

After Cloning You will see this interface in your system :

2. Running the Development Server

Frontend:

• Open a terminal or command prompt window.
• Navigate to the frontend directory:

cd frontend

• Start the frontend development server :

npm run dev

This will typically launch the React application on http://localhost:3000 (or the specified port) in your browser.

Backend:

• Open another terminal or command prompt window (separate from the frontend window).
• Navigate to the backend directory:

cd backend

Start the backend development server (typically using nodemon server.js or a similar command):

npm run start
