setup

• Install Nodemon

I assume you have Node.js and NPM installed. You can install Nodemon on your machine, globally, or locally on your project using NPM.

• Install Nodemon globally

To install it globally, run "npm install --global nodemon". And Nodemon will be installed on your system path, and you will be able to use the "nodemon" command directly on the command line.

Start the Node server via NPM

npm start
