Instructions to deploy API code

[DavidWells]

1. Generate https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys/ for yourself
2. Send me the RSA key https://help.github.com/articles/generating-ssh-keys/#step-4-add-your-ssh-key-to-your-account
3. Then send me the key.
4. Clone down https://github.com/inboundnow/inbound-api and read the readme to install
5. Install the Express api locally and run it.
6. Work locally on code and push changes to API
7. Then SSH into the digital ocean box. Depends on step 3
8. then change directories into inbound-api
9. then stop the pm2 process with pm2 kill
10. then git pull origin master to pull latest node code
11. then restart pm2 with pm2 start pm2-config.json

Rinse and repeat 8 through 11 to make live updates to api.inboundnow.com

Also, you need to learn Node more specifically express: http://expressjs.com/ here is a tutorial on express APIs https://scotch.io/tutorials/build-a-restful-api-using-node-and-express-4

Start mongo daemon and node server.js to run the api locally at port 3001
