Install Gravity
Finally, time for the fun part – let's get your new application running!
1. Clone The Repos
Create a new folder for your project and clone all the repos you were invited to into the project root, eg.
You should now have a folder structure with a server subfolder, mission control and at least one client folder, depending on which plan you purchased.
server
client-react-web
client-react-native
mission-control
website
2. Install Packages
Open up a new terminal window and navigate to the folder where you saved Gravity, go into the server folder and run the following command:
Gravity will also rename the client folders to client and app and install the packages for the server and client(s).
3. Setup Wizard
If you're using MongoDB, you will need to run the seed file manually:
node seeds/mongo
Once you have completed these steps, you must restart your node server.
Use the following command to run both the server and the client. Use this from now on any time you want to run your application.
4. Clean Up
You MUST remove the setup files when you have completed the steps above. Failing to do so will let anyone access the setup process.
You can use the cleanup script to automate this for you:
If you want to remove the files manually:
/client/src/views/setup folder
/server/controller/setupController
/server/model/setup
remove the setup import from /server/api/index.js
the setup route import in /client/src/app.js
It's recommended that you run npm audit in each installation folder to ensure third-party packages are up-to-date and secure.
