🚀 How to Run the Backend Locally

1. Clone the repository

git clone https://github.com/your-org/studycircle.git
cd studycircle/backend

2. Initialize the database (Only once)

python database.py

This will run SQL commands to create the required tables. ⚠️ You only need to do this once after cloning or resetting your environment.

3. Run the FastAPI development server

fastapi dev main.py

main.py is the entry point of the backend application.

🎉 That’s it! Your backend is now running locally.
