1. Install PostgreSQL if you don't have it already
2. Create a new database:

   CREATE DATABASE ngo_management;

3. The application will automatically create the necessary tables when it starts

1. Clone the repository
2. Install dependencies:

   npm install
   

3. Update the database configuration in server.js if needed:

   const pool = new Pool({
     user: 'postgres',         // Replace with your PostgreSQL username
     host: 'localhost',        // Replace with your PostgreSQL host
     database: 'ngo_management', // Replace with your database name
     password: 'YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE',  // Replace with your PostgreSQL password
     port: 5432,
   });

1. Start the server:

   npm start
   

   For development with auto-reload:

   npm run dev
   

2. Open your browser and navigate to:

   http://localhost:3000
   

The system automatically creates an admin user on first run:

• Admin User:
  • Email: admin@example.com
  • Password: admin123

The application provides the following API endpoints:

• Authentication:

  • POST /api/auth/register - Register a new user
  • POST /api/auth/login - Login and get token

  • GET /api/users/:id/profile - Get user profile

• Dashboard:

• Certificates:

  • GET /api/certificates/:id/download - Download certificate

For production environments:

• Update the JWT_SECRET in server.js to a strong, unique key
• Enable HTTPS
• Implement more robust password hashing
• Set up proper CORS restrictions
• Add rate limiting
