# friend.ly

A small social media platform that aims to connect people virtually, built using MongoDB, Express, React, and Node.js

## Installation

1. Install the dependencies in the main directory by running ```npm install``` in the terminal.

2. Create a config.js file in the ```/server``` directory with the following content:

```js

module.exports = {

    'MONGO_URI': // YOUR MONGO URI GOES HERE,

    'SECRET_KEY': // YOUR PRIVATE KEY GOES HERE,

    'CLOUD_NAME': // YOUR CLOUD NAME GOES HERE,

    'CLOUD_API_KEY': // YOUR CLOUD API KEY GOES HERE,

    'CLOUD_API_SECRET': // YOUR CLOUD API SECRET GOES HERE

}

```

:warning: **Note:** If you are not using the cloudinary API, please refer to the [multer documentation](https://github.com/expressjs/multer) to store file uploads locally. In this case, your ```config.js``` file should look like this:

```js

module.exports = {

    'MONGO_URI': // YOUR MONGO URI GOES HERE,

    'SECRET_KEY': // YOUR PRIVATE KEY GOES HERE

}

```

3. Run the command ```npm start``` and the server will automatically install subdirectory dependencies & start the servers.
