Dependencies: To create a live update server I use nodemon. It can be installed using npm install --save-dev nodemon . This saves it to the dev dependencies. Then under script in package.json add "devStart": "nodemon server.js" then you can use npm run devStart to run nodemon.

Also run npm install body-parser to gain access to the json body parser for CRUD operations in the routing

[danbergeron3]

run 'npm install dotenv' to gain access to .env files, you will need this to hide sensitive information. Double check that the .gitignore has .env listed. To use in code use require("dotenv").config();

[danbergeron3]

Also ensure you have a node project .gitignore

[danbergeron3]

Ensure you run npm install express and npm intstall mongoose. Express is a library for routing and mongoose is the library for the MongoDB data base.

All the basic routes are established and are configured to run on a local environment.
