Deploy schemas

Connect the app to the database and initialize the schemas:-

Open your terminal and run these.

npm run prisma:init
npm run prisma:migrate:dev
npm run prisma:push

npm run dev
OR
npm run prisma:generate

you might also want to grant files mutating premission to your app (to mutate the items' images).

sudo chown -R aymen:aymen public/uploads

Replace aymen with the actual user (your operating system user).
