Project Setup Guide

This guide will walk you through setting up and running the project locally.

Prerequisites

Before you start, ensure you have the following installed on your local machine:

• Node.js (version 14 or higher)
• MongoDB (local or cloud instance, like MongoDB Atlas)
• Git (if cloning the repository from GitHub)

1. Clone the Repository

2. Install Dependencies

Navigate to the project directory and install the required dependencies using npm: npm install

3. Set up Environment Variables

Create a .env file in the root directory of the project. Include the MongoDB URI which is your MongoDB connection string. Include the port the server will run on. The default is 5000. ex: MONGO_URI = ... PORT = 5000

4. CSV Data

Place the .csv files in the data folder. The file relating to students must be called roster.csv. For roster.csv: username password name role studentId

The file relating to the instructor must be called instructor.csv. For instructor.csv: username password name role

5. Parse and store the data from the CSV files

To import the data into MongoDB use the following command: node server.js
