2. Second, install all the dependencies:

System dependencies:

• postgres - add user/password postgres/postgres
• postgis

Application Dependencies:

• Install dependencies with mix deps.get
• Create and migrate your database with mix ecto.setup

3. Edit your environment variables:

• Open the .sample.env file located at the root of the project
• Create a Mapbox account and copy your public access token
• Paste it in place of for the PUBLIC_MAPBOX_KEY variable. That line should now look like this:

PUBLIC_MAPBOX_KEY=pk.ey[...the rest of your access token...]

Rename the file ".env" (delete ".sample" from the file name)
