This project use node.js as the backend sever, mySQL as the database, and react.js as the front end.

How to run our app

1. install node.js, you also need to have MySQL server and Apache server (we use MAMP)

2. create the database name react_sql in the MySQL server

3. import file ./farm_ing/farm_ing_database.sql into the database react_sql

4. change directory to the folder you stored the folder farm-ing and install backend dependencies

cd farm-ing
npm install

5. execute index.js(backend app) in the command prompt (you can also use nodemon)

node index.js

6. go to localhost:4000 in your browser, if it is connected you will see the message "hello from the farm-ing server!"

7. change directory to the folder term which is inside the folder farm-ing and issue npm install install frontend dependencies

cd farm-ing/term
npm install

8. start the react app

npm start

9. it will automatically redirect you to localhost:3000 in your browser(Chrome is reccomended) and welcome to our web application!
