dev environment setup

  1. Navigate in a terminal to where you want the project's folder to appear.
  2. Download the code with git clone https://github.com/wheelercj/COMP583-G6.git.
  3. Download the dependencies with npm install.
  4. If you want to be able to run the web server locally for testing, you will need to create a MySQL database and a .env file in the project's root with these environment variables: DB_HOST, DB_PASSWORD, DB_USER, DB_NAME, DB_PORT, and DB_SSL.

Now just use the nodemon command to run the server! If you get an error message about the command not being recognized even after restarting the terminal, you may need to install nodemon globally with npm install -g nodemon.
