Clone the BlogChamp repository using
git clone https://github.com/IzMo2000/BlogChamp.git
In the base folder, install the necessary packages
npm install
Set up your .env file in the backend folder. From the base directory, go to the backend folder and create a file called .env. You need to define two variables (for now) in here:
PORT=4000 the port number you want to have the server run on, by default 4000
MONGO_URI=... where ... is the base uri to connect to the database, contact BlogChamp team for access
So at the end your .env should look like
PORT=4000
MONGO_URI=...
Then to run the application, use
npm start
