angel start OSX 10.11.6 fails two separate ways about angel

[thosakwe]

1. The application boilerplate is set up to connect to a MongoDB server. If none is running (i.e. a daemon), it will crash. There are three options: remove the database code from the application (not recommended, as this would require you to rewrite your application to use in-memory data stores for services, instead of a persistent DB), rewrite the code to support a different database you have running (RethinkDB is supported. PostgreSQL and a few others are on their way), or install MongoDB (simplest way). I will include documentation about this in the project README. The only issue people ever have with Angel is failures with angel init, and that is because I failed to provide a list of prerequisites to install.

2. angel_test is an actual Pub package already, and it is imported by the 'angel_common' package, so creating your own package with the same name will inevitably crash your application.

Hope I was of help!

Update: See Prerequisites.

I feel rather silly, thanks for the prompt help. Perhaps you could add installing MongoDB/having it running to the website in the Getting Started section. Great website by the way!

Great idea, and thank you very much!
