1. Create a `.env.local` file in the frontend root directory.
2. Add the following line to the `.env.local` file, replacing the URL with your backend server address:
```
VITE_SERVER_URL=http://localhost:8000
```
**Backend Environment Variable**
1. Create a `.env` file in the backend root directory.
2. Add the following line to the `.env` file, replacing the placeholder in the MongoDB URI with your actual MongoDB cluster information:

```
**Important**: Remember not to commit the `.env.local` and `.env` files to the public repository to keep sensitive information secure.
