$ git clone git@github.com:ga-wdi-exercises/mean-socket-chat.git
$ cd mean-socket-chat
$ npm install
Then, make sure you have mongod
running:
# in another bash tab
$ mongod
To start the app run:
$ nodemon
Then you should be able to view the application by navigating to localhost:3000
in your browser
Note: If you do not have
nodemon
installed already, run$ npm install -g nodemon
first.
