Installing LibTrade

Quick Start

The following steps are intended to prepare LibTrade for usage quickly. They do not address a secure or scalable installation. As such, they should be used when considering LibTrade for usage:

• Pull the desired LibTrade release

• Install the required client and server dependencies

  # Install client dependencies
  cd client
  npm install
  
  # Install server dependencies
  cd server
  npm install

• Create a Google API key in the Google developer console

• Create a /server/config/ folder with the following files and contents (change values as necessary):

  // /server/config/keys.js
  module.exports = {
    google: { apiKey: 'GOOGLE_API_KEY' },
    session: 'SESSION_SECRET'
  }
  
  // /server/config/database.js
  module.exports = {
    host: 'localhost',
    database: '',
    username:'',
    password: '',
    dialect: 'mysql'
  }

Using LibTrade

Before using LibTrade in a web browser, the application server and API server must both be started. Each server should be started using a separate terminal window.

# Start the application server
cd client
npm run serve

# Start the API server
cd server
npm run serve
