This is a self-instructed project to deploy a mean stack message platform engaging the RBAC access control strategy.

How to use:

• Download the entire folder.

• Run "npm install" to install all required dependencies.
• Run "npm run build" to run the development build script => Keep this process running!
• Run "npm start" in a new command line/ terminal window => Keep this process running as well, it's your NodeJS server.

Note: Remember to install two other dependencies(bcryptjs & jsonwebtoken) using "npm install —save"
