You can install depedencies with npm install.

Then, with your terminal you can run the node server with: node index.js

Notes to ourselves

How we get things done.

npm init
npm install express
touch app.js
Load our app with Express, then listen a port (aka. 3000)
node app.js
Ctrl+C to stop Server
sudo npm i -g nodemon //Deamon to a better workflow, it let you reload server when there are changes
npm i morgan // To see what request is send to server
npm i body-parser // To parse data for POST requests
npm install cors // To control access to Cross-Origin Resource Sharing
npm i bcrypt // To hash, salt and compare passwords
require : fs, http, https // To force the use of HTTPS

Things to increase quality and features of this API. (This part use franglish, we are sorry for that, we will fix it later.)
