The Backseat gives eloquent and critical writers a chance to write engaging stories about provoking and relevant topics to an equally curious audience.

The Backseat

Installation

First install Node.js. Then use npm to install the Node packages from the package.json file. These will be placed in node_modules/.

npm install

To run the app:

npm start

Then load http://localhost:9000 in your browser to access the app. Changes to views or assets will be reflected in the browser automatically. Changes to server files (i.e. routes/index.js) will require the server to be restarted before changes can be seen.

Deployment

If you have not deployed before, you must add the Heroku remote.

git remote add heroku [email protected]:the-backseat.git

Deploying to Heroku is simple.

git push heroku master

The app will now be running at www.the-backseat.com. Make sure any changes you want pushed are committed to your local git repo and pushed to GitHub before deploying.
