    SEED_DATA=???

5. Set up postgres DB and seed DB:

• Setup a new postgreSQL database on your local machine.

• Configure application to connect to local database. In app > config > env > development.js enter your databse information:

  Example development.js snippet

    ...

    database : {
    host : 'localhost',
    database_name : 'datbase_name',
    username : 'username',
    port : '5432' //default PSQL port
    }

6. Once you have confirmed that the application is connected to our DB, seed you DB by adding the following line to .env.
   • Note: You only need to seed the DB once. When you have seeded the DB, remove this line or else you are going to have a bad time.

    SEED_DATA="seed"

7. reset environment variables for

    $ source .env
