# Build Instructions

## Backend

For demo purposes, the backend uses sqlite3 as the database. The database is stored in the `backend` directory.

For migrating the database, simply navigate to the backend directory and run `make migrate`, this will initialize the sqlite3 database.

To build and run the main server binary:

```bash
make build
make run
```

The server will be running on `localhost:8080`. This server does not hot reload, so you will need to restart the server after making changes.

## Frontend

The frontend is built using Vite with React. Vite handles hot reloading and bundling.

First, you need to pull in the dependencies by running `npm install` in the frontend directory.
To spin up the development server, run `npm run dev`. This will start the development server on `localhost:3000`. Note that the backend server should be running for the frontend to work.
