2. Install dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txt
3. Create a .env file in the root directory:
LAYER_API_KEY=your_layer_api_key
LAYER_BASE_URL=https://api.buildwithlayer.com
4. Start the backend server:
uvicorn main:app --reload
Frontend Setup
1. Install dependencies:
cd frontend
npm install
2. Create a .env.local file:
NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL=http://localhost:8000
3. Start the development server:
npm run dev
