Install dependency before starting the server:
npm install
node init.js
(make sure you already have mongoDB running)
If you are running the app for the first time, you'd be redirected to /init for some start-up configuration.
After initialization, .env and data_seeding.js files would be created: this is when
your app is ready to be deployed.
#Note (if you are deploying using git: e.g. to Heroku)
.env and data_seeding.js are both included in the .gitignore file. That means they will not be uploaded to the server with git push. You would need to remove them from the .gitignore file. (Or else you'd run into some error.)
#Admin Panel
You can log into the admin panel (by visiting /keystone) after initilaization. The admin panel is where you can add & update events, mentors, and diffferent sections of the website.
