Getting Started

Your development environment will require:

• SBT / Play see here for installation instructions.
• MongoDB see here for installation instructions.

Once the prerequisites have been installed, you will be able to execute the following from a terminal.

../modern-web-template >  play run

This should fetch all the dependencies and start a Web Server listening on localhost:9000

[info] Loading project definition from ../modern-web-template/project
[info] Set current project to modern-web-template
[info] Updating modern-web-template...
...
[info] Done updating.

--- (Running the application from SBT, auto-reloading is enabled) ---

[info] play - Listening for HTTP on /0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0:9000

(Server started, use Ctrl+D to stop and go back to the console...)

Note: This will create a MongoDB Collection for you automatically
