2. Get the code and install

Clone your copy of the repository and move into it. Use the URL of your own private repository:

git clone <your repository URL> my-app
cd my-app

The code has two halves, each in its own folder:

• backend/ is the API server, built with NestJS (a framework for Node servers). It talks to the database and runs on port 4000.
• frontend/ is the website, built with Next.js (a framework for React sites). It runs on port 3000.

Install the libraries for each half. Run this from the repository root:

cd backend && npm ci && cd ..
cd frontend && npm ci && cd ..

npm ci installs exactly the versions in the committed package-lock.json, the same set the template's tests run against. Use npm for this; another package manager would ignore that file and pick different versions.
