# Install frontend and backend dependencies
npm run install:all
```

### 2. Configure Environment
```bash
# Copy example environment file

# Edit backend/.env with your settings:
# - MACOS_HOST=localhost (for local control)
# - MACOS_PASSWORD=your_vnc_password
# - OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key
```

### 3. Enable Screen Sharing (macOS)
1. Open System Preferences > Sharing
2. Enable "Screen Sharing"
3. Set a VNC password when prompted

### 4. Run the Application

npm run dev:frontend  # Frontend on http://localhost:3000
npm run dev:backend   # Backend on http://localhost:3001
```

### 5. Open and Chat!
