You need to start this server to provide the back-end for video-library-front.
To run this project, you need to install the latest version of MongoDB Community Edition first.
https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/installation/
Once you install MongoDB, make sure it's running.
Next, from the project folder, install the dependencies:
npm i
node seed.js
npm start
This will launch the Node server on port 3900. If that port is busy, you can set a different point in config/default.json.
Open up your browser and head over to:
http://localhost:3900/api/genres
You should see the list of genres. That confirms that you have set up everything successfully.
