Allow local mongo for local development #14

Closed osteele closed 7 years ago

osteele commented 7 years ago

Modify the setup instructions to recommend a local MongoDB installation; and default the URL to connect to this.

This makes it easier for multiple developers, and a CI server, to develop without provisioning multiple mLab accounts and without colliding.

On macOS running homebrew, MongoDB can be installed by running brew install mongodb, and then following the instructions to start the instance. On Ubuntu, follow these instructions.

There is be overlap between this and fixing the Travis build #15.
