ParkSmart

ParkSmart is solving the parking problems of Urban areas one driveway at a time.

Purpose

ParkSmart is a Full Stack MVC Application that helps drivers find a parking space in the hard to find places of Urban areas. Moreover, it connects drivers with property owners who wish to rent out their parking spaces for a fee. In other words, it helps people park smart.

Usage

User can search on homepage for available parking spaces in a specific Zip Code or by City & State. You are then presented with a map showing markers of available spaces and their corresponding address at which point you can book a spot.

Development Notes

Prerequisites

Node

Before you can install Node, you’ll need to install two other applications. Fortunately, once you’ve got these on your machine, installing Node takes just a few minutes.[1]

Mac OS

XCode Apple’s XCode development software is used to build Mac and iOS apps, but it also includes the tools you need to compile software for use on your Mac. XCode is free and you can find it in the Apple App Store.

Via Terminal xcode-select --install

Homebrew Homebrew is a package manager for the Mac — it makes installing most open source sofware (like Node) as simple as writing brew install node.

To install Homebrew just open Terminal and type ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)". You’ll see messages in the Terminal explaining what you need to do to complete the installation process. Now type brew install node.

Windows Installation Steps[2]

Download the Windows installer from the Nodes.js® web site.

Run the installer (the .msi file you downloaded in the previous step.)

Follow the prompts in the installer (Accept the license agreement, click the NEXT button a bunch of times and accept the default installation settings).

Restart your computer. You won’t be able to run Node.js until you restart your computer.

MySQL Workbench

It is recommended that you install MySQL Workbench v5.7 as it seems to be the most stable for all systems.

Windows

Go to https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/windows/installer/5.7.html and download the version that matches your architecture.

MacOS

Follow the instructions found here: MacOS MySQL Workbench Installation.
