I just made a comment b/c I think there's some redundancy in the readme. If you feel that it's still needed, I'm okay with the merge.

I'd like to outline my own difficulties when I was trying to setup my MongoDB account, npm install, and localhost in case it may help someone else. We could include it in the README possibly.

I had to Create A Database and Create A Collection in order to get a password generated for my MongoDB Atlas account. I'm not sure if anyone else had to do this or not.

I also tried the "MongoDB for VS code" option first because I didn't know I had to click the "Drivers" option instead. It seems as though my localhost didn't start working until I connected "Drivers" but don't quote me on that. mongodb

We can certainly add a troubleshooting section to the readme but I think for the sake of this PR, it looks good to me. @ImanKahlila if you are still having issues, I could try to help troubleshoot and see where that leads us.

Looks good to me too. I will go ahead and merge.
