Tech Stack

Frontend: React.js
Backend: Python (FastAPI)
APIs: Geoapify, g4f
Map Integration: ymaps (used in the React component)

Prerequisites

Make sure you have the following installed on your local machine:

Node.js (v14.x or later)
npm (v6.x or later)
Python (v3.8 or later)
pip (v20.x or later)

Installation

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/katanabana/HolidRoute.git
cd HolidRoute

Install dependencies for the frontend:
```
cd client
npm install
```

Install dependencies for the backend:

cd ../server
pip install -r requirements.txt

Running the Application

To run the application on your local machine, you'll need to start both the frontend and backend servers in separate terminals.

Start the frontend:

Open the first terminal and run:
```
cd client
npm start
```
This will start the React development server, usually at https://localhost:3000.
Start the backend:

Open the second terminal and run:
```
cd server
python main.py
```
This will start the Python backend server, usually at https://localhost:5000.

Now, you can access the application by opening your browser and navigating to http://localhost:3000.
