Getting started

1. You need node.js installed on your machine to run this project.
2. Check out the project using Git.
3. Run npm install inside the newly created directory.
4. Set PORT as an environment variable inside your console. Eg. PORT=3000 on linux or SET PORT=3000 on windows.
5. Run npm start.
6. Open your browser and head to http://localhost:3000/v1/shows/das_erste (or replace 3000 with your PORT value) to get program info for ARD.
