Albums API

Steps to run locally

• Ensure you have a instance of mongoDB running locally by installing mongo if you haven't and running command: mongod this may require sudo depending on your permissions. Once mongo is up and running on default ports:
• npm install
• npm start

Upon first successful startup you should see these messages in your terminal.

• Web server running on port 3000.
• Mongoose connection successful.
• Warning: Possible unwanted characters in album titled: 'Don‰Ûªt Believe the Truth'. Check document with this title and edit as needed.
• Warning: Possible unwanted characters in album titled: 'Post'. Check document with this title and edit as needed.

The last three messages will only appear the first time you start the app in order to seed the database from a csv of albums. The Warning: messages are to notify the user that some data contained possible unwanted characters.
