Setup

Backend:

1. Inside the server folder, run npm install to restore all dependencies.
2. You can setup a local database in two ways:

• Import the database schema from the empty-database file in the database folder. After that use npm run seed in the server folder to fetch data from Deezer and add initial admin user.
• Or directly import the database schema from the full-database file in the database folder which contains prefetched Deezer data as well as some mock data for users and playlists.

3. Inside the server folder, create a .env file with the following configuration:

PORT=5555
HOST=localhost
DB_PORT=3306
USER= // insert MySQL database username
PASSWORD= // insert MySQL database password 
DATABASE=ridepal
PRIVATE_KEY=secretkey

4. Run npm start.

Frontend:

1. Inside the client folder, run npm install to restore all dependencies.
