    As the readme file suggested you first have to create a .env file, then proceed by adding the two required values in your env file:

    MONGO_URI=your mongo db URI goes here
JWT_SECRET=your JWT Secret token goes here

    then run npm i to install all the required packages and npm start to run the project

    This project uses the dotenv

    https://github.com/john-smilga/node-express-course/blob/dc0635c55bf27ef77a8aeddf3570892480f2c899/06-jobs-api/final/app.js#L55

    You can see that the code reads some variable values from a .env file. This file is not pushed usually for security issues.

    create a file named .env at the root of your project. Add two variables:

    MONGO_URI = "mongodb://localhost:27017"
JWT_SECRET = <your JWT secret token>

    Then run again the server again : npm start
