python -m venv venv

# Activate it
# Windows:
venv\Scripts\activate
# macOS / Linux:
source venv/bin/activate

# Install backend dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

cd app

4. Create Backend .env File

Where to get each key (with direct links):

Variable	Service	How to Get (Step-by-Step)
SUPABASE_URL & SUPABASE_KEY	Supabase	Same as frontend → Settings → API → copy URL & anon key
host & password	Supabase PostgreSQL	Settings → Database → Connection info → copy Host + the password you set when creating the project
GROQ_API_KEY	Groq (fast AI inference)	→ console.groq.com/keys → Create API Key → copy (gsk_...)
