• In /website/credentials.js: Replace the place holders of ClientId and ClientSecret with your own credentials, which are obtained by creating an App on http://developer.autodesk.com

• (Optional) In /website/config.js: Replace the place holders for GalleryPort, MongoDbName, MongoDbPort

• Mandatory for upload: In /website/www/config.js: Replace the place holder for BucketName. Bucket name needs to be unique accross the whole View & Data webservice, so a good pratice is to append your clientId to it.

If you are using Mac, start up MongoDb following their tutorial, and then start up node server by running node server.js from /website folder.
