2. Create a .env file in the root directory with the following variables:

MONGODB_URI=your_mongodb_connection_string
SESSION_KEY=your_session_key
SERVER_URL=your_server_url
CLOUDINARY_CLOUD_NAME=your_cloudinary_cloud_name
CLOUDINARY_API_KEY=your_cloudinary_api_key
CLOUDINARY_API_SECRET=your_cloudinary_api_secret
