Anyway, to run the program, be sure you have a node version higher than 8.

node version

To install all neccessary libraries:

npm install

And finally to run the program:

node index.js

Fire up a web browser and go to

The port above may be different! Check the console for details! Lastly, to access the api portion of the program, this is the url scheme:
