Inside one terminal navigate to backend, create a virtualenv with virtualenv env, activate it and install the project requirements using pip install -r requirements.txt. Make sure the virtualenv path is set in the following manner according to your setup:
"python.venvPath": "${workspaceFolder}/env/bin/python3"In another terminal navigate to frontend, install the dependencies using npm i and run the server with npm start. Head to http://localhost:3000 to see the application.
