To serve (development) the application:

• PHP 8.2 - 8.3 is required
• Node.js 22 is required
• The nodemon package is required (can be installed locally or globally)
• For now, installing the Frontend CMS repository in the same directory is required - Repo Here
• Do the following:
  • Run composer install
  • Run pnpm install
  • Duplicate the .env.example file and rename it to .env
  • Run php artisan migrate --seed and let artisan create the database.sqlite file (if you left the sqlite db connection set in your .env file)
