• Install dependencies: npm install
• Create development and test databases: createdb thingful, createdb thingful-test
• Create database user: createuser thingful
• Grant privileges to new user in psql:
  • GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE thingful TO thingful
  • GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE "thingful-test" TO thingful
• Prepare environment file: cp example.env .env

For tests involving time to run properly, your Postgres database must be configured to run in the UTC timezone.

1. Locate the postgresql.conf file for your Postgres installation.
   • OS X, Homebrew: /usr/local/var/postgres/postgresql.conf
2. Uncomment the timezone line and set it to UTC as follows:

# - Locale and Formatting -

datestyle = 'iso, mdy'
#intervalstyle = 'postgres'
timezone = 'UTC'
#timezone_abbreviations = 'Default'     # Select the set of available time zone

• To seed the database for development: psql -U thingful -d thingful -a -f seeds/seed.thingful_tables.sql
• To clear seed data: psql -U thingful -d thingful -a -f seeds/trunc.thingful_tables.sql

• Start application for development: npm run dev
• Run tests: npm test
