npm run setup fails with MODULE_NOT_FOUND for PaymentMode model

[OmAkolkar12]

Describe the bug
When running npm run setup in the backend directory, the setup
partially completes (Admin and Settings are created successfully)
but then crashes with a MODULE_NOT_FOUND error for PaymentMode model.

To Reproduce

1. Clone the repository
2. Set up MongoDB URI in backend/.env
3. Run: cd backend
4. Run: npm install
5. Run: npm run setup
6. See error

Expected behavior
Setup script should complete fully without any errors.

Screenshots

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows 11
• Browser: N/A (this is a backend/terminal issue)
• Version: idurar-erp-crm v4.1.0

Smartphone (please complete the following information):
N/A

Additional context
Full error log:

Error: Cannot find module '../models/appModels/PaymentMode'
Require stack:

• backend\src\setup\setup.js

Node.js v24.11.0
npm v11.6.2

The file PaymentMode.js does not appear to exist under
backend/src/models/appModels/ directory. The setup.js script
references it but the model file is missing from the repository.

Hi, I encountered the same issue while setting up the project locally and opened a PR to fix it.

The setup script references both PaymentMode and Taxes models, but neither exists in backend/src/models/appModels/, which causes npm run setup to fail.

PR: #1435

@towfeeqkhan I'm not able to run the application I ran both frontend and backend but I can see only blank white screen anything I'm missing ??

@chaitanyakatore I think you are missing env variables, make sure you have .env.local file in both the frontend and backend also the necessary variables (localhost, MongoDB URI)
