IncrGraph is an academic, open-source tool designed to enhance the understanding and visualization of incremental programming environments through interactive graphs. This repository includes both the frontend and backend components of the project.

Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed on your system:

• Node.js (v21.4.0 or later)
• npm (v10.7.0 or later)

To set up both the frontend and backend environments with all dependencies, run the following command from the root directory:

npm install

This command sequentially installs all necessary dependencies for both the frontend and backend.

To start both the frontend and backend simultaneously during development, use the command:

npm start

This utilizes concurrently to run both parts of the application in parallel, ensuring they operate in sync for full functionality.

To build both the frontend and backend for production deployment, use the command:

npm run build

This script ensures that both parts are compiled and ready for deployment in a production environment.

• Frontend: Contains the React-based frontend application.
• Backend: Contains the Node.js and Express-based backend application.
