-- Open Terminal
-- Go to `backend` directory inside the project codespace
-- Write `npm run`. If you have the above mentioned entities installed on your machine, you should be able to see a log of `Listening on port 5000` and `Successfully connected to Mongodb database` on terminal window.
-- Optional: If you have `nodemon` installed on your machine, then you can use `npm run dev` instead of `npm run`. This will keep the backend in check on any changes made by you, and refresh the server accordingly.
