Mini Project

Welcome to the Mini Project repository! Follow the steps below to set up and run the project on your local machine.

📌 Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following installed before proceeding:

• Python 3.11 (Recommended: Install via Anaconda)
• Node.js (Check installation with node -v and npm -v)
• Git (For cloning the repository)

🚀 Installation and Setup

1️⃣ Clone the Repository

 git clone https://github.com/Sandeepkandula2004/Mini_Project.git
 cd Mini_Project

2️⃣ Create and Activate a Virtual Environment

 conda create -p venv python==3.11 -y

Activate the environment:

• Windows:

  venv\Scripts\activate

• Mac/Linux:

  source venv/bin/activate

3️⃣ Install Node.js (If Not Installed)

Download and install Node.js, then ensure it’s added to your system path.

4️⃣ Install Node Dependencies

 cd my-react-app/my-react-app
 npm install

5️⃣ Install Python Dependencies

First, install dlib manually:

 pip install "<PATH_TO_DLIB_FILE>"

Make sure you replace <PATH_TO_DLIB_FILE> with the actual path.

Then, install other dependencies:

 pip install -r requirements.txt

🎯 Running the Project

Open CMD (Not PowerShell) and split it into two terminals:

Terminal 1: Start the Backend Server

 cd backend
 python server.py

Terminal 2: Start the Frontend

 cd my-react-app/src
 npm run dev

After running the frontend, a Vite development server will start, usually at:

 http://localhost:5734

Click on the link to access the application.
