Before running scripts as below, you may want to change the port that express listens on in server/app.js and you may want to change the URL that client/app.js sends the request to (you will have to change it if you change the port in server).
In terminal tab 1:
cd server && npm i && node app.js
In terminal tab 2:
cd client && npm i && node app.js
running client/app.js, as above, gives ERR_ABORTED error.
