Backend (tested on macOS)

This is a bit time-intensive. Takes roughly 30-45 minutes if you follow the videos for the backend. If you only want to see the UI follow the steps above.

1. Install SQL & MySQLWorkbench (We used This video for macOS)
2. go into the connection from the home page in MySQLWorkbench (you can skip steps 2-4 if you follow this video)
3. Create a new database
4. Add the two sql files as schemas and execute it by pressing the lightning bolt icon
5. After you're done setting up the database, go to your local campus-lfg directory and cd into backend
6. Run npm start
7. Refresh the frontend, it should be connected now
