2. In the first 4 terminals, navigate to the backend directory within the Project directory.
   • In each terminal, navigate to one of the service directories (userService, storeService, productService, or paymentService) and run npm install to install the necessary dependencies.
   • Once the dependencies have been installed, run npm run dev to start the service.
3. In the fifth terminal, navigate to the frontend directory within the Project directory.
   • Run npm install to install the necessary dependencies.
   • Once the dependencies have been installed, run npm start.

Running with Kubernetes
