How to install grandStack starter on localhost (Step by Step)

[Ezra_Siton]

The docs only show how to install "grandstack starter" on a sandbox.

After a lot of Attempts and small errors (Again the docs missing) - this is a step-by-step visual guide.

A.Terminal

npx create-grandstack-app grandStack_myNewApp_6

Click enter for all options (Deafult setting).

api/env
I don't know if this is a bug -or- error - anyway change this:

To => localhost

B. Neo4J browser

1/3. Create a database + match the password to env password.

2/3. Install APOC

3/3. Start server

C. The tricky "weird" part

Terminal one (Of two)

npm run start

Terminal two (Open one more terminal)

**again: While terminal one is running also run this command.

cd api

npm run seedDb

Close this terminal connection (ctrl + c).

Why two terminals?

If I run only one I get this error (And other errors):

Error: Network error: request to http://localhost:4001/graphql failed, reason: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:4001

Done 🙂
