Setup

2. Navigate to the project directory in a terminal.

3. Install the dependencies by running npm install.

4. Create a .env file in the project directory and add your Twitter API keys, AWS credentials, and a session secret. Use the .env.template file as a guide.

Running the App

1. In one terminal, start the server by running npm start. This will start the server on localhost:3000.
