Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues during the setup or running of the application, you can refer to the following troubleshooting tips:

• Failure of make setup command: If the make setup command fails, you can try deleting the node_modules folder in both the frontend and server directories. After deleting the folders, run the make setup command again.
• CORS error: If you come across a CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) error, ensure that you have entered the URL of your frontend application in the ALLOWED_ORIGIN configuration variable in the server/.env file. This allows the server to accept requests from it.

If you encounter any other bugs or issues while using the application, please help me improve it by opening a new issue here. I appreciate your feedback and will work towards resolving any reported problems.
