Installation
-------------------
To get started you will first need the following installed on your machine.

  - Node.js - https://nodejs.org/en/
  - MongoDB - https://docs.mongodb.org/manual/installation/
    - On Mac I recomment using Homebrew ```brew install mongodb```
    - On Windows, download and install the MSI package @ https://www.mongodb.org/downloads
    - On Docker, deploy everything, including MongoDB, using `docker-compose up`
  - You must then make sure you have MongoDB running by typing ```mongod``` in your terminal.

Running
-------------------
You can then download this repository, navigate to the folder in your Terminal, and then type the following.

```
npm install
npm start
```

This will walk you through the installation process.  When it is done, you will have a running Form.io management
application running at the following address in your browser.

```
https://localhost:3001
```

The installation process will also ask if you would like to download an application. If selected, the application can be found at the following URL.

```
https://localhost:8080
```

You can also see the contents of the application (for modification) within the ```app``` folder which exists inside of the folder where you downloaded this repository.
