You will need to run a npm install to install all the dependencies needed to run this application. You will also need a tool like Insomia to test the routes of this application.
After installing dependencies you can start the server by running npm start in your terminal. This will allow Insomia to connect your local server and test the routes.
Building this API allowed me to interact with MongoDB using the Mongoose Object Data Modeling library. Utilizing models in a same but different way as a mysql database was a good transitioning point to a nosql database.
The routes were also the same but different and made this transition easier
