Open a Bash Terminal
In your terminal window, navigate to a directory that you would like to clone the repository to
Within your git bash terminal type in 'git clone' and then paste in the link from your clipboard by right clicking and selecting 'paste' example below:

$ git clone https://github.com/jonstump/api-friday-project

Once the project is cloned navigate to the cloned directory and run npm install to install all relevant modules.
Navigate to ExchangeRate-API, sign up, and generate a key.
Once you have a key create a .env file in the project folder.
Inside the .env file add "API_KEY=" with your generated API key after the equals sign. No spaces.
Before running the server you may need a chrome extension to get around CORS errors. A recommended extension can be found here.
After running npm install you will want to run npm run start to build and start a server for the project.
You should now be able to try out the currency convertor.
Now you should be able to open the project in your text editor and look at its functionality as well by navigating to the project folder and opening it with your text editor of choice.
