Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following installed on your machine:

• Node.js (v14 or higher)
• npm (v6 or higher)
• MongoDB (running locally or on a cloud service like MongoDB Atlas)

Getting Started

Clone the Repository

Clone the repository from GitHub and navigate to the project directory:

git clone https://github.com/Anawrulkabir/Craftpaper-server.git
cd Craftpaper-server

Set Up Environment Variables

To configure the necessary environment variables, follow these steps:

1. Create the .env file:

   Inside the Craftpaper-server directory, create a file named .env.

   touch .env

2. Add the following environment variables to the .env file:

   DB_USER=your_database_user
   DB_PASS=your_database_password
   STRIPE_SECRET_KEY=your_stripe_secret_key
   TRANSPORTER_EMAIL=your_email_for_transporter
   TRANSPORTER_PASS=your_email_password_for_transporter
   ACCESS_TOKEN_SECRET=your_access_token_secret

   Replace the placeholders (your_database_user, your_stripe_secret_key, etc.) with your actual configuration values.
