## Prerequisite <a href="#prerequisite" id="prerequisite"></a>

1. You need to have `[`[`nodejs`](https://nodejs.org/en/)`](https://nodejs.org/en/)` installed. Any version between 8-latest should work. If you do not have `nodejs` installed, follow their documentation site it get it installed.
2. Make sure you have [`yarn`](https://classic.yarnpkg.com/en/docs/install/#mac-stable) or [`npm`](https://docs.npmjs.com/downloading-and-installing-node-js-and-npm) installed.
3. Intall [`MongoDB`](https://www.mongodb.com/try/download/community).
4. Install and configure `git` on your computer.
5. Getting started. [Follow the instruction here:](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git)

Once you have Prerequisite installed, you are ready to get started.

Step 1: Clone the repository.

```
git clone https://github.com/sureshHARDIYA/idpt.git
```

Step 2: Get inside the backend folder inside the repository.

```
cd idpt/backend
```

step 3: Make sure your `mongoDB` is up and running. Copy `.env_example` and create a new file `.env`. You need to add following environment variables to `.env` file.

```
MONGODB_URI=ADD_YOUR_MONGODB_LOCALHOST_URI_HERE
CLOUDINARY_URL=ASK_ME
cloud_name=ASK_ME
api_key=ASK_ME
api_secret=ASK_ME
```

**Note** `MONGODB_URI` is mandatory one so, if you just have the correct `mongodDB` URI, the application should run.

step 4: Run the backend.

```
yarn && yarn start
```

If your configuration and everything is correct, it should run the API at given port. You should be able to see the screenshot as shown below. Note the message that says `MongoDB connected`.

* If you have error message and does not say `mongodb connected`, try to verify if `mongoDB` is running correctly.&#x20;

step 5: Run the frontend. Navigate inside the frontend folder in a `NEW` terminal:

```
cd frontend && yarn
```

To run the frontend, run `yarn start`

```
yarn start
```

Once it compile, you should have frontend running at a given PORT, `3000` usually. By now, you should have 2 terminal, once running backend server and one running frontend.

Open the link in any browser and you should be able to see the frontend.

Congratulations! you were able to run the framework.

**Happy Coding !**
