software requeirements: node.js and npm
To implement on server: first, environment variables would need to be set. A .env.example file is supplied. The values will be supplied privately.
To start the webpage: first, clone the repo. second, change your current working directory to the root of the repo. third, run npm install. finally, run npm start.
Alternatively, perhaps ideally, a process manager which can restart the node server on server reboot or crash would be implemented to run the server.
pm2 is a popular process manager for node.js applications.
To install pm2, run npm install pm2 -g.
To start the server with pm2, run pm2 start server.js.
To make the application run on server reboot, run pm2 startup and follow the instructions.

This will start the server on port specified in environment || 8080 by default.
