Farm Connect

Farm Connect is a marketplace application that allows small farmers to sell locally grown produce to the public at large. When farmer lists an item to sell, it becomes available for purchase, and users can buy directly from those farms.

##Installation

###PostgreSQL

PostgreSQL supports Mac OS X, Ubuntu, and Windows. To install postgres with Homebrew, run the following command from terminal or any command line interface:

brew install postgres

If using Mac OS X, install the Postgres App by following this link. On Mac, Postgres runs best if you run it using the app, as opposed to running it from the terminal.

Requirements

• Node 4.4.4
• PostgreSQL 9.5.3

Setup

Installing Dependencies

Clone this repo to your local work station and from within the root directory:

./install

This will install all the necessary dependencies in the client and serverside directories

To seed your database with dummy data, run:

node server/db/seedDB.js

Usage

Once the dependencies are installed, you can start the application with the following commands. Both the database and the server must be running properly in order for the app to run. First, within the postgres app:

psql < ABSOLUTE_PATH_ON_YOUR_MACHINE_TO_/Farm-Connect/server/db/schema.sql;

And then in a separate tab in your terminal, run this command in the root directory:

node server/server.js

Open your web browser and go to http://localhost:1337 to see the app running.
