## Backend setup
First, configure a database and user (MariaDB strongly recommended) for Colubrina.
Please navigate to the `cli` folder, and run the following commands:
```
yarn
```
to install dependencies, and then
```
node .
```
which should result in an interactive CLI prompt looking like the following:
```
Troplo/Colubrina CLI
Colubrina version 1.0.1

Select setup, and go through the steps.
After completing the initial setup, you may run `yarn build` in the frontend folder, or select "Build frontend for production" in the CLI.
The backend service can now be started with `node .` in the `backend` folder which will run on port `23998`.
A systemd service example config file can be found at `colubrina.service`, and an `nginx.conf` example.
