Running the server

npm start Starts the development server.

npm build Bundles the app into static files for production.

npm test Starts the test runner.

npm eject Removes this tool and copies build dependencies, configuration files and scripts into the app directory. If you do this, you can’t go back!

Pulling the repo

1. In the root directory: 'npm install'

2. 'cd client && npm install'

Adding an npm package

Unless necessary in both the server and the client, 'cd client' & then 'npm install [package_name]'
