mepn

A mapping exercise.

To get the starter map working:

1. Create a folder where you want to run the app from.
2. Then, from a new Terminal window, type cd path/to/your/folder.
3. Then enter git clone git@github.com:tbushman/mepn.git .
4. Then enter npm install
5. Then create a file named .env with one line: GOOGLE_KEY=your_google_maps_api_key in the project root.
6. In a second Terminal window, type cd path/to/your/folder
7. From this second Terminal window, type mongod --dbpath mepndb/db
8. If you see the message, 'waiting for connections on port 27017', proceed. If not, you may have other MongoDB processes running.
9. In a third Terminal window, type cd path/to/your/folder
10. From this third Terminal window, type mongo
11. If all goes well, you can go back to the first Terminal window and enter npm start, open a browser window and go to url 'localhost:2222'
