See scripts from the package.json file.

Local setup

• Make sure you have at least Node 4.3. node --version
• Clone this repo and change directory to it.
• npm install
• Install mongo locally using http://docs.mongodb.org/master/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-os-x/
• Run mongo to connect to your database, just to make sure it's working. Once you see a mongo prompt, exit with Control-D
• Run the server with: npm start
• By default it will use a path of /parse for the API routes. To change this, or use older client SDKs, run export PARSE_MOUNT=/1 before launching the server.
• You now have a database named "dev" that contains your Parse data
• Install ngrok and you can test with devices
