1. Backend Setup:
   • DIRECTIONS FOR BACKEND REPOSITORY

   # Clone the repository
   git clone [repo-link] 
   
   # Set up a virtual environment
   pipenv install
   pipenv shell
   
   # Start the Flask server
   python app.py

   At this point, your Flask server should be running on port 8000. In a separate ngrok terminal, type: 'ngrok http 8000'. This will create a forwarding URL for port 8000. The URL that we will fetch from is that '[ngrok-forwarding-url]/classify', which is the endpoint to the server.
