Rough manual

Database setup Install Mongo 3.4 from the official website. The platform specific installation instructions can be found here : https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/installation/

Once the installation is done, start up the ‘mongod’ server process. Make sure it is running on the default port 27017 Next run the mongo command in the terminal, in the prompt type the command use movies to create the movies database and then run the command `db.createCollection(“users”) to create the users collection

Then manually enter two users in the database: (The created_at and update_at are audit fields and are automatically generated when entered through the app) db.users.insert({ "name" : "firstuser", "phone" : NumberLong(9999999999), "email" : "email that you want to be registered 1", "is_logged_in" : false, "created_at" : ISODate("2017-04-20T08:38:11.451Z"), "updated_at" : ISODate("2017-04-20T08:38:11.451Z"), "otp_secret" : "" });

db.users.insert({ "name" : "seconduser", "phone" : NumberLong(9999999999), "email" : "email that you want to be registered 1", "is_logged_in" : false, "created_at" : ISODate("2017-04-20T08:38:11.451Z"), "updated_at" : ISODate("2017-04-20T08:38:11.451Z"), "otp_secret" : "" }); The database setup is complete.
