Installing Dependancy's

Going to suggest opening different terminals to make sure you always start at the route directory

• Open a new terminal and run npm ci to install dependancies from the package.son in route directory.
• Open a new terminal and run cd server then npm ci to install dependancies from the package.son in server folder.
• Open a new terminal and run cd client/my-app then npm ci to install dependancies from the package.son in my-app folder.

Running the project locally

• Open a new terminal and run cd server
• Now in the server run npm run start this will open port 3001 and start the backend
• Open another new terminal and run cd client/my-app
• Now in the client run npm start this starts the react server opens it on port 3000
