• Install mongoDB
• Run mongoDB, start two terminal, one for mongoDB server and other for mongoDB shell
• First terminal (run mongoDB server)

• Second terminal (run mongoDB shell)

• Create new db mydb and new collection todos. In mongoDB we have collections in place of tables - documentation

• Switch fullstack-development/api-server folder open terminal and type

• Now you should able to see your api server running at http://localhost:8080/

• Switch to angular-app root and install all devDependencies mentioned in package.json.
• It will install gulp and required gulp packages for serving angular app

• Basically we will be creating a simple todo application in angular and will consume REST api end-points offered by api-server running at http://localhost:8080/.

• Lets run our app using gulp, open new terminal and type (Note our api server should be running)

You should be seeing an angular-app running, Create new todo and those will be start listing under Todo lists.
