Prettier is installed as a dev dependency. It will automatically format the code when you save a file. It will run automatically when npm run dev or npm run start is run. If you want to run it manually, run npm run prettier-format

How to run the application

1. Clone the repository
2. Replace all empty env variables with the correct values
3. Run npm install to install all the dependencies
4. Run npm run dev to start the application in development mode (automatically restarts the server when changes are made - uses nodemon)
5. Run npm run start to start the application in production mode (does not restart the server when changes are made)
