# Developer Setup
|
||||
To get this up and running, you need the following tools installed on your machine:
|
||||
|
||||
- Node.js **v14 or later**
|
||||
- https://nodejs.org/en/download/
|
||||
- The Yarn package manager
|
||||
- https://classic.yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install/
|
||||
|
||||
Once you've done that, open a shell to this repo and run the following:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell script
|
||||
yarn install
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This will install all the 3rd-party libraries needed for the app to start.
|
||||
|
||||
Next, copy the `example.env` file to `.env` and edit the `.env` file we just created.
|
||||
|
||||
Around line 20, modify the `DATABASE_PASSWORD=` to include the development database password, which you can find from the link shared on Discord.
|
||||
|
||||
For example:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell script
|
||||
DATABASE_PASSWORD=abc12345
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Once you've done that, you should be able to start the application and it will connect to the shared database. To run the application, run:
|
||||
|
||||
```shell script
|
||||
node index.js
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Note that, if you make any backend changes, you'll need to restart the server in order for them to take effect.
|
||||
|
||||
Once you've started the server, you should see a line:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
[SUCCESS] [Server] Flitter running on port 8000! Press ^C to exit cleanly.
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Then, open your web browser to http://localhost:8000 to see the site.
