Package Anatomy

This repository has three package.json files:

• math3d-react/server/package.json server dependencies and scripts
• math3d-react/client/package.json client dependencies and scripts
• math3d-react/package.json deployment & development scripts

To Install for Local Development:

1. Install Mongodb: If it is not already installed, you'll need to install mongodb as our database. On a Mac, we recommend installing mongodb with Homebrew:

    ```bash
    > brew tap mongodb/brew
    > brew install mongodb-community
    ```
   

   (Works with mongodb v4.2.1; probably others, too.)

2. Install Dependencies: Clone the git repo and cd to package root, then run:

    ```bash
    > npm install
    ```
   

   which installs both client and server dependencies.

3. Set Database Connection: Create a .env file in the server/ directory to set MONGO_URI database connection environment variable. For local development, just copy the template: bash > cp server/dotenv_template server/.env

4. Start the Database:: bash > npm run start-db

5. Start Server & Client: In a new terminal window, start the server: bash > npm start:dev:server and, in a third terminal window, start the client app: bash > npm start:dev:client

The math3d-react app is now being served on http://localhost:3000/.
