Installation and run instructions Clone the repo. Create a virtual environment and activate it. cd elevator_api pip install -r requirements.txt python manage.py runserver (this will run the backend on 127.0.0.1:8000) Open another shell and cd elevator/elevator-control-panel install npm npm install axios npm install react react-dom web-vitals npm install react-scripts --save npm start To navigate: The React front end will launch and allow you to communicate with the backend invisibly. If you want to use the REST API endpoints directly then you can go to 127.0.0.1:8000 and play with whichever URLs you want to from urls.py. The React front end is available from http://localhost:3000/
