Guideline to run the backend server.

make sure to "npm install" every package first

--> first as we are not having a remote server for our database, we are going to use our machine (localhost) as a database. so makesure to install postgres database on your machine or pc.

steps.

once your are sure you have installed postgres on your machine check if it is there by runnig 'psql' on the cmd terminal. if everything is ok.

Script for setting up the database:

Create a file named setup-db.sh with the following content:

#!/bin/bash

# Variables
DB_USER=your_db_user
DB_PASSWORD=your_db_password
DB_NAME=hibirlink

# Create database
PGPASSWORD=$DB_PASSWORD psql -U $DB_USER -c "CREATE DATABASE $DB_NAME;"

# Run schema file
PGPASSWORD=$DB_PASSWORD psql -U $DB_USER -d $DB_NAME -f ./server/db/schema.sql

Make the script executable and run it:

chmod +x setup-db.sh
./setup-db.sh

Manual set up

Alternatively, you can run the schema file manually:

psql -U your_db_user -d your_db_name -f ./server/db/schema.sql

Start the server

npm start
