🎬 AnimeVerse - Quick Setup Guide

Welcome! Follow these simple steps to run AnimeVerse on your PC.

📋 Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure you have:

• Node.js (v16 or higher) - Download here
• Git - Download here

🚀 Quick Start

Step 1: Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/namann5/Anime-muesuem.git
cd Anime-muesuem/animeverse-mvp

Step 2: Install Dependencies

npm install
cd server
npm install
cd ..

Step 3: Start the Backend Server

Open a terminal and run:

cd server
node index.js

You should see:

🚀 Backend server running on http://localhost:3001
✅ Consumet provider (AnimePahe) initialized successfully

Step 4: Start the Frontend (in a NEW terminal)

Open another terminal in the project root and run:

npm run dev

You should see:

VITE ready in XXX ms
➜  Local:   http://localhost:5173/

Step 5: Open in Browser

Open your browser and go to:

http://localhost:5173

🎉 That's it!

You should now see the AnimeVerse app running. You can:

• Search for anime
• Browse popular shows
• Stream episodes

⚠️ Important Notes

• Keep both terminals running - You need both the frontend and backend servers
• Internet required - The app fetches anime data from online sources
• Port conflicts - If ports 3001 or 5173 are already in use, you'll need to change them

🛠️ Troubleshooting

"Port already in use" error

• Close any apps using ports 3001 or 5173
• Or modify the port numbers in the config files

"Module not found" error

• Make sure you ran npm install in both the root directory AND the server directory
• Try deleting node_modules folder and running npm install again

Backend not connecting

• Make sure the backend server is running (Step 3)
• Check that it's running on port 3001
