Installation:

Download the code via your preferred method, by clicking the green code button at the top of this page.
If you don't have Node.js, you can install it here.
Once you're sure the above steps are completed, the dependencies (and their sub-dependencies) are easily installed by navigating to the project's local directory within your command line and entering the below code:

npm i

Once installed, it's time to source the data by logging into MySQL

mysql -u root -p

-Enter your password, then run:

source db/schema.sql;

DON'T FORGET YOUR LINE ENDING SEMI-COLONS IN SQL

-Promptly exit sql by typing "quit" or "exit".

-Then to seed the data, simply:

npm run seed

Once that is successful:

npm start

and the back-end will be up and running.

Access the data by either the browser, or a REST API client such as Insomnia.
