Copy file .env.sample to a new file .env
In the file .env: Adapt the MONGO_URI to your Database (either on ATLAS or local MongoDB installation)
Caution: Check that you specify the DATABASE NAME at the end of the url.
Example: mongodb://localhost/my_db?retryWrites=true&w=majority => here "my_db" is the database name. Please insert your database name here
npm run dev
The API will not automatically start a browser.
It should start on http://localhost:5000. The URL should get shown in terminal and you can open it by clicking on it.
Enjoy adapting, little grasshopper!
