This is my first back end project, which I made as part of the Northcoders boot camp using test driven development, Express.js and PostgreSQL.

Fork the repository, git clone it, cd into the directory then run npm install.
Ensure you have postgresql installed and running, you may need to run sudo service postgresql start in the terminal.
You will need to create two .env files: .env.test and .env.development. Into each, add PGDATABASE=<database_name_here>, with the correct database name for that environment (see /db/setup.sql for the database names).
Double check that these .env files are .gitignored.
Run npm run setup-dbs in the terminal to initialise the databases.
Run npm run seed to seed the development database.
Run npm start to listen on port 9090 (can be changed in listen.js) using the development data.
