Prerequisites

After installing Node on the local machine as described for your OS, install Expo CLI with the following command:

npm install -g expo-cli

After that, the below commands should be executable.

Run the Application

1. Grab the .env file for the DB IP and password for the API user and place in root of project.
   • This file should never, never be committed to the repo.
2. Launch the API by running startExpressServer.sh.
   • Provide any argument, e.g. ./startExpressServer.sh 1, to install necessary packages on first run.
     • This is Linux/Mac only. You can just run cd client && npm install && node app on Windows.
3. Launch the client frontend development server by running startReactServer.sh, ideally in a separate terminal window.
   • Provide any argument, e.g. ./startReactServer.sh 1, to install necessary packages on first run.
     • This is Linux/Mac only. You can just run cd client && npm install && npm start on Windows.
4. Let Expo take you to the website to begin developing.
