4. Compile and Deploy Smart Contracts (if applicable): If your smart contracts need to be compiled and deployed locally, run the Hardhat commands:

   npx hardhat compile
   npx hardhat run scripts/deploy.js --network localhost # Or your desired network

5. Run the development server:

   npm run dev # or yarn dev
