## Native Deployment

The easiest way to get started with Github-Graphs is to fork this repository
and follow the instructions below.

#### Create a new OAuth app

The objective of creating an app under your github account is to access an
endpoint through the GitHub API and obtain credentials to set your environment
file. For directives on how to create a new OAuth app, consult the corresponding
Github developer documentation [here](https://developer.github.com/apps/building-oauth-apps/creating-an-oauth-app/).

#### Create a .env file

Setup your environment credentials by creating a `.env file` inside the folder
`/server` with the code below filled in.

```
CLIENT_ID = <your_client_ID_from_oauth_app>
CLIENT_SECRET = <your_generated_personal_access_from_oauth_app>
SESSION_SECRET = <any_string_you_want>
PORT = <any_number>
```

#### Install dependencies

Dependencies are installed using `npm`. Therefore, please install the package manager
before proceeding. If you already have `npm` installed, run the command below inside
`/server` in order to install the dependencies in the package directory.

```bash
npm install
```

#### Activate GitHub-Graphs

Inside `/server`, run the following command to start the program, and in your
browser, check `localhost:8000` to visualize your Github network.

```bash
node server.js
```
