Technologies Used

1. Node.JS

3. Passport.JS

4. Express

5. MongoDB

6. Stripe

Prerequisites

  1. [Stripe] (https://stripe.com/docs), a platform for moving money.

  2. Passport.JS is a JS library that let's you authenticate users (signup/login).

  3. Express is an MVC manager (kind of like Rails to Ruby) that lets you organize your node projects.

  4. Node is the programming language we're working with obviously.

  5. MongoDB is a platform for databases (used to build our user database!).

Install node.JS with Homebrew:

brew install node

If brew doesn't work with your OS try:

git clone git://github.com/ry/node.git

cd node
./configure
make
sudo make install

Everything else can be installed by cloning this repository and running:

sudo npm install

Thanks

Huge thanks to all the articles about Node.js that people wrote. Too many to list but it's a fairly new language and it's awesome that people take the time to explain it for others.
