Just replace pnpm with npm

Dependencies

Step Terminal commands Notes
clone the repository or download it as ZIP file git clone https://github.com/new-AF/timestamp-microservice.git
enter the directory of the now local repository cd timestamp-microservice
install the dependencies pnpm install
Run the backend server pnpm exec server/server.js
  • For npm run
    npx nodemon server/server.js

  • most API calls like will work except the root paththese will not run the React App because they look for the index.html in the missing directory dist that is created and updated by running pnpm run build each time you edit the React App to run the most recent version.
  • To avoid running the build command each time, access the React App from the frontend server below.
Run the frontend server and the React App pnpm run dev
