Running the application locally

Step 1. Clone the repository

Fork the repository, then clone the repository locally by doing -

  git clone [email protected]:donljh/orbital22-gather.git

Step 2. Install Dependencies

In the root folder, do npm install (to install concurrently)

npm install

Then, do npm run build, to collectively install all dependencies for both frontend/backend

npm run build

Alternatively, you can install the dependencies separately by doing cd client/server and doing npm install

Step 3. Setup .env

To run the server you need to provide the .env variables

• Create a new .env file in the server folder
• Open the [.env.example] file in the server/config folder
• Copy the contents and paste it into the .env file with valid keys

Step 4. Run the application

With everything properly set up, you should be good to go! From the root directory, do npm start to run both front/backend at once

Alternatively, you can run them separately by doing cd client/server and doing npm start

npm start
