- Install nodejs and npm on your device.
- Clone the repository to your local system.
- In the root folder, create a '.env' file
- Create a MongoDB Atlas server and get the MongoDB uri
- Add env variables as "MONGO_URI" to the .env file
- Add a PORT variable and JWT_SECRET variable too.
- Set PORT = 5000
- Set JWT_SECRET as a string of your choice.
- Open up the command terminal from the root directory and type
npm start
to start the backend server.
The backend server works but the application doesn't have a working frontend.
