5. Run the Application:

   dotnet run
   

6. Access the Application: Once running, the application should be accessible at:

   • https://localhost:5001
   • http://localhost:5000

   (The exact ports may vary based on your configuration)

7. Login: The application will start at the login page since the default route is set to the Account/Login page.
