Run without Docker

1. Install MongoDB Community Edition

• Follow the instructions for your operating system:

https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-windows/

2. Install dependencies

npm install

3. Setup MongoDB

• Inside this repository, run our helper script to create a MongoDB database and collection:

bash ./scripts/setup_dev_db.sh

This will setup the DB in ./data/db and start the MongoDB server. The DB runs on port 42069.

4. Run the server

• While step 3 will start the MongoDB server, you can also run it if it's already setup:

bash ./scripts/start_dev_db.sh

5. Test the DB connection

• In a different terminal session, run the following command to test the connection to the MongoDB server:

node ./scripts/test_dev_db.sh

6. Fill the DB with test data

• You can generate test data using the following scripts:

node ./scripts/seed_tilesets.js

7. Start the server

• Finally, start the server:

node index.js

• The server will be running at http://localhost:3000
