Getting Started
First, install dependencies. You'll need Node and NPM, as well as MongoDB (version 3.6.8 recommended). Instructions for installing those can be found at Treehouse Installation Guides. Be sure to create the /data/db directory.
Run the local MongoDB: in a terminal, type mongod. Then to connect to the local MongoDB, open a new tab or window and type mongo.
Seeding the database with fixtures
In your terminal, cd to the root folder and install node modules by running npm install. Now run node scaffold to create the VERSION_NAMES database and insert the provided default set of animal names and adjectives. After the data is inserted into the database, you should see the message ### VERSION_NAMES database created. DONE inserting animals and adjectives. in the terminal output.
Build the project
In the root folder, enter npm run build to bundle and build the project.
Start the server
In the root folder, enter npm run serve in the terminal to start the server. You can now point your browser to http://localhost:3000/ to register, sign in, and start creating projects.
