If you have docker installed, make sure you are in the same directory as the docker-compose.yml file and run docker-compose up --build.

if you do not have docker installed but want to run the project using docker, follow [https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/] to install it.

If you do not want to user docker, follow the following steps:

• Create a .env with variable names such as the ones in .env.api file
• Make sure your postgres is running if you are using the local one
• Run npm install to install dependencies
• Run npx prisma migrate dev to apply migrations and create tables
• Run npm run dev to get your application started
• You can open another terminal and make sure you are in the spark folder, then run npx prisma studio to get a graphical view of your database.
