TRVL - the Travel App 🌎✈️

Project 2 for [CS-1202] Advanced Programming. This is a MERN stack e-commerce (multi-purpose travel booking) platform. This project was built by Ruthu Rooparaghunath, Soham De, and Tanvi Roy.

Quick Start

Open up a CLI, and execute the following commands:

$ git clone https://github.com/tanviroy/trvl.git
$ cd approject2

$ cd backend 
$ npm install
$ npm start

$ cd frontend
$ npm install
$ npm start

This should get the server to run at localhost:5000 and frontend to run at localhost:3000
