Once .Net Core is installed locally, follow these steps to launch the web server for the api:

1. Traverse to the api directory MovieDatabase/MovieDatabase.Api.
2. Type dotnet restore in the terminal; This will restore all the base and Nuget packages the app needs to run.
3. Lastly, type in dotnet run to kick off an Kestrel instance that will run in the terminal.
4. The API app location should be http://localhost:5000.

Movie Database Client

This client side of this application is written using Angular 4. Before running, follow these steps to launch the client for the application (In a separate terminal window):

2. Let's make sure you have node installed: You can use these commands respectively: npm --v
3. Then, let's make sure we have Angular 4 Installed, you can check first using ng -v; If not, visit this next link to get the new angular cli installed:

5. Once those are both configured, we need to pull in all of our node packages using npm i.
6. Lastly, we can kick off the angular server using ng serve

Where's the database?

The database is MS SQL and its currently being hosted on AWS RDS. You'll notice the connection string is on the api application. For production purposes, I'd advise to move this to an encrypted file since we check it in.
