Running the backend server

First navigate to front-api-interface-server in the terminal and execute the following:

After installing the required packages, populate an .env or execute. Example below:

export TWILIO_ACCOUNT_SID=XX
export TWILIO_AUTH_TOKEN=XX
export TWILIO_NUMBER=+44000000
export AUTHY_API_KEY=XXX
export MONGO_URL='mongodb://localhost/LoginExample'
export APP_SECRET='lalalalala'

Please note that you will need to obtain your own unique SID, Token, API keys and Twilio number from Twilio and Authy.
