Setup

Install all Essential Tools
Go to backend directory cd ./backend
Copy .env.example to .env. And fill out all the empty values (if needed).
To start a dev server run make dev. This will compile the binary and start a server (Default port is 8000).
- Since we are using cargo-watch, there is no need to stop and rerun make dev as when a change is detected the server will recompile and start again.
