## Getting Started
### 1. Clone the Repository
```bash
git clone https://github.com/Linesmerrill/police-cad.git
cd police-cad
```
### 2. Install Dependencies
```bash
npm install
```
### 3. Configure Environment Variables
Duplicate `.env.example` and rename the new file to `.env`. Edit to your configurations.
```bash
cp .env.example .env
```
### 4. Set Up MongoDB
#### macOS (via Homebrew)
1. Install MongoDB: [Step by step instructions](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-os-x/)
2. Start MongoDB: [Step by step instructions](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-os-x/#run-mongodb-community-edition)
#### Other Platforms
Follow the [MongoDB installation guide](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/administration/install-community/) for your platform.
### 5. Run the Backend API Service
We have migrated most of our backend code to our [police-cad-api](https://github.com/Linesmerrill/police-cad-api) microservice. This is now required to be running in order to access certain parts of the app.
Follow the instructions to start and run that service [here](https://github.com/Linesmerrill/police-cad-api#police-cad-api).
Once running, you will need to add two new environment variables. You can see an example of those [here](https://github.com/Linesmerrill/police-cad/blob/main/.env.example#L12).

```bash
npm run dev
```
The application will be available at `http://localhost:8080`.
