MessageBoard repository
###Setup
Clone this repository:
$ git clone [email protected]:etingel/MessageBoard.git
Install dependencies:
$ cd MessageBoard
$ (sudo) npm install
Install the database server (all instructions aimed at Ubuntu. Installing PostgreSQL will differ by operating system):
$ sudo apt-get install postgresql
Connect to the newly installed Postgres server using the default postgres database. We will create a new user then
create the development and test databases. When prompted for a new password, use some password you can remember.
$ sudo -u postgres psql postgres
# \password postgres
# CREATE ROLE messageboard PASSWORD 'md5e6b6ca6251e4d90448cc3b55c99850dd' NOSUPERUSER NOCREATEDB NOCREATEROLE INHERIT LOGIN;
# create database messageboard;
# create database messageboardtest;
<Ctrl>-D
Now set up the schema for the development database (run this command from the MessageBoard repository directory):
$ node_modules/.bin/db-migrate up
If everything worked, you should be able to start the server by running:
$ nodejs app.js
Browse to http://localhost:3000 to start using MessageBoard!
