## Launching the App Locally

*Follow the instructions in the [./backend](./backend) folder to set up a backend API.*

*You will need to launch the Python backend API for the search functionality to work.*





The *frontend* portion of the application can be launched by following these steps...

### Prerequisites

* [NodeJS](https://nodejs.org/en/download/) - an open source server framework

* [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/get-npm) - a package manager for Node.js packages

* [http-server](https://www.npmjs.com/package/http-server) - a simple, zero-configuration command-line HTTP server

* [Python](https://www.python.org/downloads/) - for an alternative server (optional)

```

git clone -b master https://github.com/johnkntran/twitter-tweets.git twitter-tweets

```

Then `cd twitter-tweets` to go into the repository.
