Development preparation steps:

1. Have node 18 installed

• you might want to use nvm

2. Check that you are using node 18

node -v
# should say v18.6.0

2. Install typescript globally

• the backend uses typescript

npm install typescript -g

2. Install Docker

• for windows / mac Docker Desktop is good for this

3. Run npm install in the monorepo root
4. Initialize mongodb with ./scripts/setup-mongo.sh

• In the future it can be started with ./scripts/start-mongo.sh
• Mongo can be killed with ./scripts/stop-mongo.sh

5. Create .env file under ´packages/app´ and packages/server

.env content for packages/app/.env

VITE_BACKEND_URL=127.0.0.1:3000

.env content for packages/server/.env

MONGO_DB_URI=mongodb://127.0.0.1:27017
MONGO_DB_NAME=web-project
