REST-Rant is an app where users can review restaurants.
First, you'll need a Postgres database to connect to. Follow instructions here to setup the database and save credentials for the next step.
Next create a .env file inside of backend. It will need to contain the following environment variables (change the values for the database to match what you defined in the previous step)
PORT=5000
DB_USERNAME=rest_rant_user
DB_PASSWORD=password
DB_DATABASE=rest_rant
Next cd into backend and run npm install to install dependencies for the API.
Next, cd into frontend, and run npm install to install dependencies for the React app.
Finally, in separate terminals, run npm start in each folder so that the API and React app are running at the same time.
