##Repo Structure

• The top level folder contains all the backend files. This is to facilitate Github integration with Heroku or AWS.
• One of the top level folders is the frontend folder. This contains all the frontend source code.

##Run your own copy

1. Download/clone repo
2. Using command line interface (CLI) from top-level folder run: npm install
3. The backend will require these environment variables:

• STAGE (either 'development' to report errors or anything else to not)
• OAUTH_SERVER_CALLBACK_URL (the server's hostname like http://localhost:3000)
• OAUTH_CLIENT_CALLBACK_URL (the frontend's hostname like http://localhost:3001)
• GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID (google api client ID)
• GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET (google api client secret)
• DATABASE_STRING (the database connection string)
• EXPRESS_SESSIONS_SECRET (some secret string)
• CORS (the url of the frontend)

4. Then run nodemon to start running the server locally (if nodemon isn't installed, follow instructions here nodemon)
5. Now in a new CLI, navigate to frontend folder and run: npm install
6. Then while in the frontend folder, run either:

• npm run start to run the frontend locally
• npm run build to generate the bundled html, css, and javascript to deploy online
