  • Postgres 9.5 or later
  • NodeJS 10.12 or later

KnexJS, the database driver used is compatible with other databases like MySQL. With small adaptation, it should be possible to use them, but this has not been tested.

1 | Configure Postgres to use UTC

** Make sure that Postgres database used is configured to UTC ** SET TIME ZONE 'UTC';

See Postgres Documentation

2 | Create and/or configure environement variables

  • Create a .env file at the root of the backend folder
  • Replace all variables noted with $ below, and save it to the .env file
NODE_ENV=development // This can't be changed for now
PORT=$port_number
DATABASE_URL=postgres://$db_user:$db_user_password@$hostname:5432/$db_name
JWT_SECRET=$long_random_characters

3 | Installation of packages with npm

  • npm i
