1. Import the repo into Replit.com
2. You need to create a .env file in the root and provide two environment values namely MONGO_URI= and NODE_ENV=production. Please refer the youtube video of Burak "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3BUHwfHf84&t=809s" on how to setup your mongodb database.
3. When importing the github repo to replit.com, the contents of the .replit file doesn't get fetched properly. Hence as a workaround, please copy the contents of the .replt file in the repo to your Replit.com app.
4. Delete the package-lock.json file in the root and frontend directories
5. build the app using: npm run prod_build
6. run the app using: npm run start
