brew tap mongodb/brew
brew install [email protected]
mongod --config /usr/local/etc/mongod.conf --fork
ps -ef | grep mongod #check if mongodb is working
```
### Start the App
```
go run cmd/auctions/merauctions.go --mongodb-url=mongodb://localhost:27017/testing --database=testing
```
- If you want to populate initial data you can run `cd server/seed-data/ && go run seeddb.go`
