Installation

Back end prerequisites

You will need to have Node and npm installed locally on your machine. You will need a MongoDB Account

Back end Installation

Clone this repo. From the "backend" folder of the project, run npm install.

This project uses .dotenv to protect sensitive data related to the use of the MongoDB database. You must create a .envfile at the root of the "backend" folder and add the following informations:

IDENTIFIANT="enter your MongoDB username" PASSWORD="enter your MongoDB password" SECRET_KEY="enter your random secret token"

You can then run the server with node server. The server should run on localhost with default port 3000. If the server runs on another port for any reason, this is printed to the console when the server starts, e.g. Listening on port 3001.

Front end installation

From the "front" folder of the project, run npm install run npm run start
