Getting started

1. Setup MySQL Server

NOTE: We're using a docker container for our tests [official images].

2. Setup NodeJS

3. Clone the repo

$ git clone https://github.com/renatokano/dh-fake-instagram
$ cd dh-fake-instagram

4. Install the project dependencies

$ npm install

This command will install all project dependencies.

NOTE: all of these packages will be placed in the node_modules folder.

5. MySQL Schema

1. First of all, you'll need a MySQL database service.
2. Once your MySQL service is ON, you just need a connection to run our sql script. NOTE: Here, we can use a terminal and just connect/run the code, or we can use the MySQL Workbench Solution [download].
3. So, w/ all the tables created, set the sequelize configuration based on your MySQL service.

6. Run the code

$ cd dh-fake-instagram
$ node app.js

and access the address (in your browser):
