In order to run Tikit, please make sure that you have Node.js, npm, and MongoDB installed on your system. Please ensure your MongoDB server is running on the default address and port. Clone the repository to your local device, either by downloading the repo zip file and extracting it or through the terminal:
[email protected]:MAPReiff/Tikit.git
or
https://github.com/MAPReiff/Tikit.git
Once you have downloaded the repo, navigate to the directory with your terminal, for example:
cd Tikit
Next, you will need to install the npm dependencies through the terminal:
npm install
Following your dependencies, we recomend seeding the database. Please make sure that your local MongoDB server is running on the default address and port:
npm run seed
You can then start Tikit by running:
npm start
Navigate to http://localhost:3000/, and you can then either login, or register a new account. There are eight pre made accounts in the seed file, all of which use the same password: Password!23.
Admin Accounts:
Normal User Accounts:
If you are creating a new account, it will be made as a normal user. If you wish to make this user an admin, and existing admin must manually edit this user under their profile to assign the higher level of access.
