Setup the development environment config
cp config/default-template.json config/development.json
vi config/development.json
Edit the config to ensure the ports and ssl certificate file names are correct if your local setup is different from the default.
Run the server in development mode with the command
npm run start:dev
Browse to the API in your browser (https://localhost:3001/api) and accept the certificate. If you restart the backend you may have to re-accept the certificate in your browser before API calls will work.
Install the npm libraries
cd front-angular
npm install
Run the front end in ssl mode with the command
npm run start:ssl
Browse to the front end in your browser (https://localhost:4200) and accept the certificate.
