🚀 Setup Instructions

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/a-3isa/market.git

2. Install Dependencies

npm install

3. Configure the Database

Make sure you have PostgreSQL installed and running locally.

Set the environment variable DATABASE_URL (you can use dotenv or pass inline):

DATABASE_URL=postgres://<USERNAME>:<PASSWORD>@localhost:<PORT>/market

⚠️ Replace USERNAME , PASSWORD , PORT with your actual PostgreSQL cardinals if it's different.

4. Run Database Migrations

npm run migrate up

This will create the required tables in your market database.

5. Start the Backend Server

npm start

This will start your API server on http://localhost:3000.

6. Serve the Frontend

If your frontend is static (like plain HTML/JS), run:

http-server .

Then open your browser and go to:

http://localhost:8080
