-* To install fnm follow the [official fnm guide](https://github.com/Schniz/fnm#installation). If you prefer nvm, you can install it using the [official nvm guide](https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm#installing-and-updating).

-* After installing either nvm or fnm, proceed to the `frontend` directory:
-
-```bash
-# If using fnm
-fnm install

-* Once the installation is complete, switch to the installed version:
-
-```bash
-# If using fnm
-fnm use
-
-# If using nvm
-nvm use

-
-* Within the `frontend` directory, install the necessary NPM packages:
-
-```bash
-npm install

-* And start the live server with the following `npm` script:
