-If you prefer running services outside Docker:
-
-```bash
-# Install dependencies
-cd backend && npm install
-cd ../frontend && npm install
-
-# Start backend (uses .env)
-cd ../backend
-npm run dev
-
-# In a separate terminal start frontend
-cd ../frontend
-npm start
-```
-
-Ensure a PostgreSQL instance is running and the `DATABASE_URL` in `.env` points to it. The frontend `.env.development` file pins the dev server to `0.0.0.0:12000` so it matches the Docker behaviour.
