ITP Project: SAP Retail Management System

First-Time Experience with MERN Stack

This project marked my first experience working with the MERN stack. While familiar with JavaScript, I learned how to combine MongoDB for database management, Express for routing, React for the frontend, and Node.js for the server-side logic. I am excited to have gained hands-on experience in developing a full-stack application using these technologies.

Instructions to Run the App Locally

Follow these steps to run the app on your local machine:

Installing Packages

Before running the project, ensure you have Node.js and npm (Node Package Manager) installed on your system.

1. Clone the repository to your local machine:

   git clone <repository-url>

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd ITPM-LINGO/backend

3. Install server-side dependencies:

   npm install

4. Navigate to the client directory:

   cd ITPM-LINGO/frontend

5. Install client-side dependencies:

   npm install --legacy-peer-deps

Running the Project

After installing the necessary packages, you can run the project with the following commands:

1. Start the server:

   npm run start

2. Start the client:

   npm start

By default, the server runs on port 5000 and the client runs on port 3000. Ensure that MongoDB is running on your system.
