  npm install
  

• Create .env file

  • create a .env file in the BackEnd folder
  • create a mongodb instance from mongodb atlas with cluster name: mean-stack and add following params to .env file

  MONGODB_URI_PRE = "mongodb+srv://"
  MONGODB_USER = <USER NAME>
  MONGODB_PASSWORD <PASSWORD>
  MONGODB_URI_POST = "@mean-cluster.qyd3m.mongodb.net/mean-stack?retryWrites=true&w=majority"
