If you don't Postgres installed locally, please follow the steps the installation that pertains to your operating system:

Download Postgres

Set the environment variables in the file .env

PGDATABASE=database_name

PGHOST=hostname

PGPORT=port_number

PGUSER=username

PGPASSWORD=password

Install and run the server by executing the following command:

npm start

This command assumes that you are using yarn as your Node Package Manager. I recommend yarn due to its fast installation nature.

Installing Yarn

If you are using npm, execute the following:

npm install && nodemon app/server.js
