Setup the database

Be sure to have postgres installed on your workstation and to have the system service running in the background.

Consult your OS's documentation for how to do this. Use homebrew if you're on a Mac.

# Set up the DB & your DB user
npm run db:reset

# Run all pending DB migrations
npm run sequelize db:migrate

# Seed the DB with dummy data
npm run sequelize db:seed:all

# If you want, enter `psql`
npm run db:connect

Environment Variables

Generate a new template for your .env file. Note, this will not do anything if the file already exists.

npm run setup:env_vars

From there, register an application at Facebook Developers and fill in the requisite information.

Running it

Pick one of these two ways:

# 1. With separate terminal tab for front-end & back-end:
npm run back-end
npm run front-end

# 2. One terminal tab for both front-end & back-end
npm start

• npm run deploy:archive
• then upload it to AWS

Prepare environment
