Getting Started

The project is built on the Meteor framework

1. Clone this project and cd into the directory

2. If you haven't done so already, Install meteor

3. Run meteor npm install --save @babel/runtime react react-dom note: This step appears to be a bug. Shouldn't need to do this

4. run meteor

You should see your app running on http://localhost:3000

Deploy

meteor deploy al-family-of-trees.meteorapp.com --free --mongo

The app is live at http://al-family-of-trees.meteorapp.com/

It's hosted on the free plan so it may take a couple of minutes for Meteor cloud to bring it up from a cold start.
