Instructions to run it locally

1. Install and run MongoDB. Detailed installation instructions for all operating systems can be found here.
2. Install Neo4j. Then create a graph database and run it. You also need to change the default password. Instructions can be found here.
3. Clone this repository and cd into it.
4. Type git submodule init and git submodule update to fetch the submodules.
5. Now cd into the folder social-net-back/, open the .env file and insert your Neo4j database password. All other values should be fine, assuming you didn't change the defaults.
6. Then type npm install and npm start to start the nodejs server.
7. Now cd into the folders social-net-front/ and social-net-logging/ and execute npm install and npm start there as well in order to start the react app and the logging server.
8. The social network should now be running at localhost://3000.

tested with npm v6.12.1, MongoDB v4.2.1 and Neo4j v3.5.12
