Install API on macOS

[j0j032]

Do you struggle to install the API on macOS ?

If you have the error [nodemon] app crash... you probably didn't install MongoDB Community Edition.
And don't worry if the mongo --version is not working....

What I did to fix the error:

1. Follow this link for complete instructions https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-os-x/
2. If you don't have home brew package manager installed (global) then: https://brew.sh/index_fr

So once brew is installed, in your macOS terminal: you can run:

1. brew tap mongodb/brew

2. brew install mongodb-community@6.0

⚠️ like me, you can have this error:

If you had it just follow the img instructions (so install xcode-select) and then launch again brew install mongodb-community@6.0

3. now you can check the install with mongod --version

4. and then run mongodb community with brew services start mongodb-community@6.0

(to stop it : brew services stop mongodb-community@6.0)

Now, you can clone the repo and:

1. npm i
2. add MongoDB NodeJS Driver npm install mongodb --save
3. Start your local server npm run dev:server
4. Get the populate database npm run populate-db

✨ Your Api should be ready 😃

When I try to install xcode-select, the popup window freeze after clicking install. Not sure how to fix that. If anyone has met the same issue and has a solution...
The system is not blocked. Everything still works fine, but the popup window don't update and I'm not sure if everything is being installed.

Hello Xav, je ne sais pas mais j'ai fais la dernière MAJ pour install ventura 13.0.1 et j'ai du update xcode select notamment... je ne sais pas si ça peut venir de la MAJ dans ton cas... mais ça peut être une piste...
