fix: Make dependency installation optional in Makefile#6
Conversation
Summary
Modified the `start-backend` target in the Makefile to make dependency
installation optional, improving developer experience by allowing faster
startup when dependencies are already installed.
- **Modified `start-backend` target**: Now runs without dependency
installation by default
- **Added optional dependency installation**: Use `make start-backend
DEPS=true` to install dependencies before starting
- **Improved developer workflow**: Developers can now start the
backend immediately if dependencies are already installed
## Usage
```bash
# Start backend without installing dependencies (default)
make start-backend
# Start backend with dependency installation
make start-backend DEPS=true
```
## Benefits
- **Faster development cycles**: No need to wait for dependency
installation on subsequent runs
- **Flexible workflow**: Developers can choose when to install
dependencies
- **Backward compatibility**: Original behavior still
available with `DEPS=true` parameter
## Testing
- ✅ `make start-backend` starts backend without installing
deps
- ✅ `make start-backend DEPS=true` installs deps and
starts backend
- ✅ Existing `make start` command continues to work as
expected
Reviewer's GuideThe PR refactors the Makefile’s start-backend target to drop its mandatory install-deps prerequisite and introduce a DEPS flag for optional dependency installation, allowing faster backend startup when dependencies are already present. File-Level Changes

Hey @LuisAPI - I've reviewed your changes - here's some feedback:
- Consider renaming the
DEPSvariable to something likeINSTALL_DEPSfor clearer intent and to avoid possible naming conflicts. - For readability and maintainability, you might use Makefile’s native conditional syntax (ifeq/endif) instead of embedding a shell
ifblock.
