Setup/Install PostgreSQL Database

Install: https://www.enterprisedb.com/downloads/postgres-postgresql-downloads

Install guide: https://www.postgresqltutorial.com/postgresql-getting-started/install-postgresql-macos/

Once you have installed PostgreSQL, navigate to server/db/postgresDB.sql and copy the commands seen there to create the database along with its tables. Additionally, create a file, index.js inside of the db folder that contains your db credentials.

const { Pool } =  require("pg");
const db =  new  Pool({
	user:  "<your user>",
	database:  "comp484_final",
	password:  "<password>",
	port:  5432,
	host:  "localhost",
});
module.exports  = { db }

After that, the backend should be all set up.
