This project was developed under a previous phase of the Yale Digital Humanities Lab. Now a part of Yale Library’s Computational Methods and Data department, the Lab no longer includes this project in its scope of work. As such, it will receive no further updates. Ensemble@Yale is a live website that uses this code. When this website breaks, it will be removed from the web.

# change bindIp address to 0.0.0.0 (Update security in AWS accordingly)
sudo service mongod restart

Store environment variables

# the mongolab uri is the path to your mongo port
export MONGOLAB_URI="mongodb://YOURDOMAIN.YOUREXTENSION:27017/YOURDBNAME"
