1. create a back end .env file using this template in the root directory:

# The port you want the api to run on.
PORT=5001

#A secret key used for signing user sessions with JWT. This is just an example, use something else.
TOKEN_SECRET="secret-jwt-token"

#A registration secret new users will need to create accounts. Again, this is just an example, use something else
REGISTER_SECRET="secret-register-token"

#Add your environment, development or production. 
NODE_ENV="production"

2. create a client side .env using this template in the /client directory.

# The port you want to serve the application from.
PORT=5002

# The port your api is running on. This should match your back end .env.
REACT_APP_SERVER_PORT=5001

# The API URL you have setup if connecting from outside your network. 
REACT_APP_API="api.yourdomain.com"

3. run 'npm run build' in the apps root directory. This should install and build the back end and front end with all their dependancies.

npm run build

4. migrate the database to the latest version with 'npx db-migrate up -e production'

px db-migrate up -e production

Adding Database Migration:

npx db-migrate create add-whatever with —sql
