Now you need to create a MongoDB database on your machine. You can use the suggested commands below.

mkdir ~/mongodata
cd ~
mongod --dbpath=mongodata --port 27017

In a different terminal, run the following to:

• Clone the code to your computer
• Install the dependancies
• Start the webserver

git clone https://github.com/Propheis/lhd-housinghelper.git
cd lhd-housinghelper
npm install
npm start

and visit http://localhost:3000/populate to generate the sample data, followed by http://localhost:3000/ to view the app!

You should see the application running!
