Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/shabi640/spimun.git
cd spimun

# Navigate to frontend directory
cd frontend

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Create a .env file for environment variables
cp .env.example .env

# Navigate to backend directory
cd ../backend

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Create a .env file for environment variables
cp .env.example .env

Update the .env files in both directories with your specific configurations.

For security reasons, sensitive data like API keys and secret tokens are stored in environment variables. The repository includes .env.example files that show the required variables without exposing actual values.

Important environment variables:

• DEEPSEEK_API_KEY: Your DeepSeek API key for AI formatting features
• JWT_SECRET_KEY: Secret key for JWT token generation

To set up:

# Copy the example file
cp .env.example .env

# Edit the .env file with your actual values
nano .env

⚠️ Never commit your actual .env file to version control!

# From the frontend directory
npm run dev

# Or to build for production
npm run build

The frontend development server will start at http://localhost:5173 (or another port if 3000 is in use).

# From the backend directory
npm run dev

# Or to run in production mode
npm start

The backend API will be available at http://localhost:8000 by default.
