2. cd msviz-backend

You can then either:

Data storage

The backend store in, for the time being, only a mongo server. Download and install mongodb. Launch the daemon with a command like

mongod --fork --dbpath $HOME/work/mongodb/db --logpath $HOME/work/mongodb/mongod.log

To check that everything is running ok, you can then connect with a mongo-shell via

mongo ms_viz

The configuration on where to hit the mongodb server is described in the conf/application.conf file.
