# Tenant Power
## Set up for development
- After cloning this repo to your computer, run `npm install`.
- Install PostGIS if you don't have it already. You can find installation instructions for most platforms [at the PostGIS website](https://postgis.net/install) under the "binary installers" heading.
- Ensure you have a Postgres server running.
- Create the development database with `createdb landlords`
- Create a `database.json` file with the connection details for your local database. Mine, for example, looks like this:
```json
{
"dev": {
"driver": "pg",
"user": "postgres",
"password": "postgres",
"host": "localhost",
"database": "landlords",
"port": "5432",
"ssl": false,
"schema": "public"
}
}
```
- Run `npm run migrate-dev` to migrate the database.
- There is a coresponding command for migrating the production database, `npm run migrate-prod`. This requires that the `database.json` file be expanded to include a 'prod' object, like so:
```json
{
"dev": {
...
},
"prod": {
"driver": "pg",
"user": "postgres",
"password": "postgres",
"host": "localhost",
"database": "landlords",
"port": "5432",
"ssl": false,
"schema": "public"
}
}
```
- Grab the [sample data](https://tenantpower.org/files/props.sql) and dump it into your development database with `psql -h localhost -d landlords -f props.sql`. This sample data covers only the City of Somerville. If you're using your own Postgres installation you may need to change the arguments to connect to the right database.
- Start the server: `node landlords.js`
- Start a server for the frontend with `npm run start`
