Setup Instructions

Instructions written for Windows.

1. Open a terminal on your computer

2. Change directory to desired location for repository : cd <desired_repo_location>

3. Clone repo : git clone <this_repo>

4. Change directory into the repo directory created from the clone command : cd <repo_directory>

5. Initialize npm : npm init -y

6. Install packages : npm install express express-session sequelize mysql2 express-handlebars connect-session-sequelize dotenv bcrypt bulma

7. If you don't have nodemon installed globally already, do that now. If you do, skip this step : npm install -g nodemon

8. Install nodemon as dev dependency for this repo (if not installed globally you will encounter an error, install globally first [command found in step above]) : npm install --save-dev nodemon

9. Create a .env file in the root directory and add values for DB_NAME, DB_USER, and DB_PW, like so :

   DB_NAME='proj2_group6_db'

   DB_USER='root'

   DB_PW='your mysql password goes here'

10. Start mysql (this step is where the walkthrough video starts) : mysql -u root -p

11. If prompted for a password, enter the password for your mysql db

12. Set up db : source db/schema.sql;

13. Optional, confirm that the db was created : show databases;

14. Quit mysql : \q;

15. Seed db : npm run seed

16. Start the server with either of the following commands : npm start -or- node server.js
