To get started with running the server, you first need to follow this guide. You'll need to download your API credentials as a JSON file, and then store them somewhere securely. Then you need to set the environment variable GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS to point to that file. Alternatively, you could skip this, and only set the variable when running the command to start the application.
Here's how to start it:
- Install dependencies:
npm i - Start the application:
GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=/home/username/.secret/google.json npm start
