- Navigate to both the client and server directories and execute
npm install
to install all required packages. - Follow the guide at Get Started with Atlas to create an Atlas account and deploy a database cluster.
- Once the cluster has been deployed, find your connection string and assign it to the ATLAS_URI variable inside ./server/config.env
- From client directory, run
npm run build
to build the front end. - From the server directory run
nodemon server.js
(nodemon will restart the server if changes are detected to the source files). - Web Server should now be running at http://localhost:5000/
