Following are prerequisites to be installed:

1. Node
2. NPM
3. MongoDB

1. Install server dependencies by running the following in the root directory

npm install

2. Create a .env file in root and add the following content in it. <> are merely placeholders.

MONGO_URI=<mongoDBURI>
JWT_SECRET=<randomJWTKey>
EXPIRES_IN=<expirationTimeOfJWTToken>
GITHUB_TOKEN=<githubToken>

You can easily generate a GitHub token by following the instructions here!

Also, as per JWT documentation, following are valid "expiresIn" values:

• expiresIn: expressed in seconds or a string describing a time span zeit/ms.

  Eg: 60, "2 days", "10h", "7d". A numeric value is interpreted as a seconds count. If you use a string be sure you provide the time units (days, hours, etc), otherwise milliseconds unit is used by default ("120" is equal to "120ms").

3. Install client dependencies by:

cd client
npm install

4. Go back to root directory and run the following:

cd ..
npm run dev

This will run both server and client from root. Enjoy!
