Setup

Install dependencies withing the root, front-end and back-end folder with npm install.

Creating The DB

On back-end:

1. Use the psql -U development command to login to the PostgreSQL server with the username development and the password development.
2. Create a database with the command CREATE DATABASE hod_development;.
3. Copy the .env.example file to .env.development and fill in the necessary PostgreSQL configuration. The node-postgres library uses these environment variables by default.

• this env example should be in the front end and root folder as just .env as well. For convience use the same content for each. You will need to set up your own google maps API key to have the map work as expected.
