Air Monitoring PWA project — backend

Installation

$ npm install

Database setup

The DBMS we use is PostgreSQL, version 13.1. You can download it here. Once this is done, follow the installation instructions and launch a Postgres server with:

$ postgres

You can also use an app to manage the server, such as pgAdmin or Postgres.app (only on macOS). Then, connect to your server with the psql client:

$ psql

You can now type in SQL queries or psql-specific commands, such as \l to list all databases or \c to change the current database, for example. Create a new database called air_monitoring with:

CREATE DATABASE "air_monitoring";

You can check that is has been created by displaying the list of databases (\l) and connect to it with \c air_monitoring. Head to docs/database.md to finish setting up your local database.
