How to install the Relief Jobs app

shell commands:

npm i -g psql knex
createdb reliefjobs
createdb reliefjobs_tests
psql reliefjobs

PSQL shell (connected to database reliefjobs, repeat for reliefjobs_tests):

A reliefjobsroot user is required, let's create one

CREATE USER reliefjobsroot WITH ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'new_password';

The new_password should be === to PGPASSWORD in the .env file)

GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE reliefjobs TO reliefjobsroot;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON ALL TABLES IN SCHEMA public TO reliefjobsroot;

If the reliefjobsroot user already exists, and you just need to update the password:

ALTER USER root WITH PASSWORD 'new_password';

Then launch the init SQL file to initiate the database:

\i [your computer's root path...]/reliefJobs/packages/server/scripts/postgresql/init.sql

Execute latest migrations to build the database (times 2 for the test db to be migrated as well)

knex migrate:latest
knex migrate:latest --env test

Execute seed files to fill the databases with random data

knex seed:run
knex seed:run --env test
