Installation Instructions

1. Install all dependencies

   • Run yarn install

2. Set environment variables

   1. Create account from https://pinata.cloud/ to generate the API keys.
   2. Create a env file and copy the fields required from .env.sample.
   3. Fill-in your API keys from Pinata in the .env file.

3. Setup the database

   1. Start a PostgreSQL database.
   2. Add the PostgreSQL connection string as DB_URL_DEV
   3. Connection string will look like this - "postgresql://[user]:[password]@localhost:5432/[db_name]"

4. Seed the database

   1. In app.js - uncomment these two lines in the end -

   await sequelize.sync({ force: true });
   addChapter(Module, Chapter);
   

   • This will create all the tables(drop all of them if they already exist) and also populate the chapter and module table.

Start local build:

1. Development server(auto re-load on file change) -

   yarn run dev
   

2. Serve without auto re-load -

   yarn start
