Starting

• Start in development environment: npm start
  • No authorization
  • Requests made as not authenticated fake user
• Start in production environment: npm run production or NODE_ENV=production npm start
  • With authorization (Google)
  • Access token generated by the osx client or the playground

Don't panic

If anything fails and everything sucks, check this before you freak out:

• mongod is running
• old mongo collections (= tables) are deleted
• old mongo documents (= entries) are deleted
• sssnap-server is up-to-date
• node dependencies are installed with npm install or npm update

Some hints:

Message	Reason	Solution
After start: [Error: failed to connect to [localhost:27017]]	Can't connect to mongoDB	run mongod
After start, in npm error message, 3rd line: Error: Cannot find module '[name]'	Dependency isn't installed	run npm install. If error still exists: npm install [name] and open an issue
While running: mongodb error, something with multiple key	Most likely: old schema in collection	Look up which collection caused the error, then: mongo > use sssnap > db.collection.drop(). Replace collection with name of collection.
