Mongoose install steps missing from README #2

Open gregsandell opened 6 years ago

The instructionsudo mongod (typo?) in the README presumes the installation of an executable. It would be nice to provide minimal guidance to users who are new to mongodb.

@gregsandell mongod is not a typo, the d stands for daemon. More on mongod in the MongoDB docs: https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/reference/program/mongod/

So, you're technically right about the README (and linked blog post) assuming that the user has already installed software, but it's MongoDB, not Mongoose. Mongoose is one of the dependencies installed when you run the yarn install command. Hope this helps.
