Create a .env file in the root directory of your project. Add environment-specific variables on new lines in the form of NAME=VALUE. You will need an API key for Weather Underground and an account with MLAB:

API_KEY=key

MLAB=mongodb://myGithubUsername:myMlabAccount.mlab.com:port/database

In its' own terminal - run the following command to set-up the automatic hourly request and storage of weather data based on your location node weather-index.js.

Make sure to run this step prior to running npm start in its own terminal (next step), failing to do so will result in not receiving any new and current weather data.
