You will need to acquire your own Account SID and Authentication token from Twilio. Create a .env file in the root directory of the backend_api folder.

export TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID="Twilio SID"
export TWILIO_ACCOUNT_AUTH="Twilio Auth Token"

Fork and clone this Repo.

Change directories into the backend local directory. Run bundle install to install dependencies. Ensure PostgreSQL is running on your machine, create and migrate the database.

$cd backend_api
$bundle install
$rails db:create
$rails db:migrate

• Start the rails server from the 'backend_api' directory by running rails s.

$cd frontend
$ open index.html
