Before installation, please make sure you have already installed the following tools:

Clone the project, you can use the following command:

git clone https://github.com/<your-github-username>/Whisper

Navigate to the project directory
```
cd Whisper
```
Navigate to the respective client and server directory
```
cd client
```
```
cd server
```
Install dependencies with npm install
```
npm install
```
Use .env_sample to configure the .env file for both client and server. For the server .env mongodb url use the localhost to test

Check this video of how to do that: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0U8vD8m1I0
Note: If using Docker, the MongoDB port is 27018
Run npm start in the client directory and npm run dev:docker in the server directory, this uses docker for the server part
```
npm start
```
```
npm run dev:docker
```

For those who do not wish to use Docker, here is another option -> to start the project

To test things out, you can open the same URL in two different browsers or open a private browsing window in the same browser. This allows you to connect to yourself, use login anonymously if you aren't dealing with anything that uses user data, else use login and open an account on mailtrap using their demo to domain and get the token into .env
