Download the latest versions of MySQL and MySQL Workbench.

Clone this repo. Open MySQL Workbench and run the coursesearch.sql script. This should create a table that will be the course database!

$ git clone https://github.com/sathvi-k/coursesearch.git

Done!

Go to the backend folder then install all dependencies:

$ cd coursesearch/backend

$ npm i

Open app.js & edit these lines to configure your database:

const db = mysql.createConnection({
    host : 'localhost',
    user : 'your_database_username (if you're using localhost, this is probably root)',
    password : 'your_database_password',
    database : 'your_database_name (should be CourseSearch)'
});

Save it, then run your backend project. It will run at localhost:3210:

$ cd coursesearch/backend

$ node app

Note: If there is an error fetching data from the database or adding to the database, this server will close. Restart it by running it again.

Done!

Go to the frontend folder, install all the dependencies and then run this project:

$ cd coursesearch/frontend

$ npm i

$ npm start

It will run at localhost:3000 & should open in the browser automatically! Done!
