nerv-server

Development

Requires yarn for package management.

To start:

1. Create config/development.json with necessary configuration.
2. $ yarn install
3. $ npm run dev

This will start an HTTP server on http://localhost:3000.

Database

nerv-server uses PostgreSQL as a database.

1. brew install postgresql
2. brew services start postgresql (to start pgsql on boot, optional)
3. $ createuser nerv
4. $ createdb nerv
5. $ echo "grant all privileges on database nerv to nerv" | psql --db nerv

You'll also need Redis, which is used for pub/sub in the websocket system. Just brew install redis.

Configuration

The following environment variables are required. You can safely copy and paste this into development.json to get started.
