🛠 Installation & Setup

Step 1: Set up environment variables

• First, open your terminal and run the command cd web-app.
• Then, in the /web-app directory, create a .env file and add the following environment variables:

HUGGINGFACE_KEY='YOUR_HUGGINGFACE_API_KEY'
GEMINI_KEY='YOUR_GEMINI_API_KEY'
ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET='Any string here would do'
REFRESH_TOKEN_SECRET='Any string here would do'

Step 2: Install dependencies and deploy

• Intall dependencies using npm i.
• Run the development server using npm run dev.️

Step 3: Login as a hotel guest

• No hotel guest is currently logged in, so we have provided an admin account for your supposed hotel.
• Visit localhost:3000/adminLogin and login with username davinci and password thebesthackathon.
• Here you will see an example customer pre-registered for your hotel. Click on Create Login to send them an email with a link to create their account.
• Since you cannot access this email account, a link to login to that customers' account will show up on the page. Copy and paste it into a new tab.
• Now you are a hotel guest who has just logged into Welcomate! Enjoy the app and its features!
