+Development Setup
+=====
+In order to install on your local machine, you will need to install:
+
+1. Postgres + postgis
+2. Node
+
+Once those are installed, go open a bash shell on the project directory and type:
+
+```
+psql postgres
+```
+
+You will be welcomed with the postgres prompt. Now, create the geofeatures database and switch to it:
+
+```
+CREATE DATABASE geofeatures;
+\c geofeatures;
+```
+
+There enter the SQL statements at the top of these two files (in that order):
+
+```
+services/features.js
+services/visits.js
+```
+
+Make sure the frontend user has access to the geofeatures database:
+
+```
+GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE geofeatures TO frontend;
+```
+
+Then, make sure the environment variable for the newly-created user is set:
+
+```
+export FEATURES_CONNECTION_STRING='postgres://frontend:[euro4sure]@127.0.0.1/geofeatures'
+export PORT=3035
+```
+
+Now, make sure the nodejs dependencies are installed:
+
+```
+npm install
+```
+
+Running
+=======
+All you need to do is run:
+
+```
+node server.js
+```
