Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

Prerequisites

You should have Node, Express, and NPM installed on your local machine. Additionally, you should also create a local postgres database and name itlofo.

Installing

Within the project directory, run npm install

Next, run the necessary migrations and seeds from within the api directory.

knex migrate:latest
knex seed:run

(NOTE: if you do not have knex installed globally, you will need to prepend npm runto the above commands.

Locally, you may run the following command:

npm run dev

This will run both the client and server on different ports.

Production Development

To test as a production build, you may run the following command:

npm start

This will build a new version of the client into a build/ folder. It will then run the server which will deliver the client. In this case, you will want to go to port 3004 by default.
