Initial Setup (Source code)

1. Install node.js LTS.
2. Acquire weather.com and mapbox.com API keys. These are required for weather data and radar frames respectively. (Please note that you will have to install the Mapbox API key in two places.)
3. Go to /webroot/js and open config.js.
4. Line 1 is where your weather.com API key goes. Replace "YOUR_API_KEY" with your weather.com API key.
5. Line 2 is where your mapbox.com API key goes. Replace "YOUR_API_KEY" with your mapbox.com API key.
6. Save your changes to config.js and close out of it.
7. Now, open radar.js in the same folder.
8. Line 8, or wherever mapboxgl.accessToken is located, is the second place your mapbox.com API key goes. Replace "map_key" with your mapbox.com API key.
9. Save your changes to radar.js and close out of it.
10. In terminal / command prompt within the webroot directory, run npm install --production. This will install all dependencies required to run.
11. In terminal / command prompt within the webroot directory, run npm start. This will start a local web server, which is required to run the sim.
