# change directory to the repo's frontend folder
cd angular-spring-starter/frontend

# install the frontend dependencies with npm
# npm install @angular/cli@9.1.3 -g
npm install

# start the frontend app
npm start

# change directory to the repo's backend folder

JSON Web Token

JSON Web Tokens are an open, industry standard RFC 7519 method for representing claims securely between two parties. for more info, check out https://jwt.io/

Token authentication is a more modern approach and is designed solve problems session IDs stored server-side can’t. Using tokens in place of session IDs can lower your server load, streamline permission management, and provide better tools for supporting a distributed or cloud-based infrastructure.
