• Node.js >= 8.10+,
• npm >= 5.6.0 Or yarn

Update configuration as per development environment, once the source code in place :

• Rethinkdb configuration :
  • Sample data import after database create :
    • Create database for example realtimeappdemo1 and import sample data from sample_data directory.
    • Rebuild table indexes using rethinkdb index-rebuild.
  • Updates in backend/main.go
    • Address : System_IP_address/localhost/host address and rethinkdb connection port,
    • Database: database name for connection.
• Backend already configured to run on port 9001, if want to change then backend/main.go -> change port value.
• Frontend already configured to run on port 9000, if want to change then frontend/webpack.config.js -> change value of port param.
• Start rethinkdb server or if already started then make sure rethinkdb server is up and running .
• Start backend :

   $ cd backend
   $ go run *.go

  For backend tests : $ go test ./tests/*.go
• Start frontend : Install the dependencies+devDependencies and start the server

   $ cd frontend
   $ npm install
   $ npm run start:development (hot reload)
   OR
   $ npm run build:development (hot reload + tests)
