Quick Start

To get this project up and running locally on your computer:

  1. Set up a Node.js development environment.

  2. Once you have node setup install the project in the root of your clone of this repo:

    npm install
  3. Run the tutorial server, using the appropriate command line shell for your environment:

    # Linux terminal
    DEBUG=express-locallibrary-tutorial:* npm run devstart
    
    # Windows Powershell
    $ENV:DEBUG = "express-locallibrary-tutorial:*"; npm start
