How to host

This application can be setup with 3 simple steps.

Step One: Configure the configuration file

For this, you're going to need an open port on your system, a MongoDB database and an Auth0 account.
Fill in the details in the config.example.json file, they're pretty self explanatory.
Once you've filled it in, rename the file to config.json

The MongoDB URL configuration should be configured as an environment variable called MONGO_URL. This can also be placed into a .env file

Step Two: Install the packages

You need to run one command. Think you can handle it? Give it a go now.

npm install

You can even copy and paste it if you need to.

Step Three: Start the application

Another command. This is the easier command to type, though.

node .

Just like the last one, you can copy and paste it.

Congratulations! You now have PasteJS running on your system.
