• Run mongod or path/to/mongodb/bin/mongod in a second cli to start MongoDB (you may have to specify the path by adding --dbpath \data\db)
• Run node getPosts.js in the first cli to save the VDM posts to the DB
• Run npm start or node server.js to launch the REST API
• Test it on http://localhost:8080/api (or on your environment variable PORT instead of 8080)
• Make sure the API is still running, and run the unit tests with npm test or jasmine-node spec/
