This app was forked from the starter template provided as a part of Udacity's React Fundamentals Course. That code now lives in the project's /server folder.

The frontend was created with create-react-app and adheres to its typical structure/interface. It lives in the project's /frontend folder.

In order to run the project, first clone or download the GitHub repo. Then install the requirements by typing npm install in a terminal pointed to the /frontend diretory of the project (the directory that contains package.json, which lists the project dependencies).

To run the project locally after installing the requirements, type npm start into a terminal pointed to the /frontend directory to launch the development server. It should open localhost:3000 and run the app in a local browser. If it does not open localhost:3000 automatically, try doing so in your favorite browser. You should then see the app.

This app talks to a server provided by the starter template. The server should be run in a separate terminal. To run the server, install its requirements by typing npm install in a terminal pointed to the /server directory (containing its own package.json). Run it by typing node server into the same terminal once the installation is finished.
