Run the command npm install to obtain all the required project dependancies.
You may need to add two global packages as well: The Angular CLI and Firebase Tools. Both of these can be obtained with the following commands: npm install -g @angular/cli and npm install -g firebase-tools.
You will need a Firebase application set up in order to use this app. You can create one on the Firebase website. After you have created an application, copy the Firebase web configuration into the environment.ts and environment.prod.ts files, found in ./src/evironments, as the firebase object.
You will also need to set the api field in the environments of both files to https://us-central1-<APPID>.cloudfunctions.net/.
Make sure that the file in the root directory of this project, .firebaserc has the default (and dev) field appropriately set as the ID of your Firebase project.
You'll need additional configuration for your functions, specifically for a few third-party APIs. You will need to get/set an API key for the Google Places API as well as create an application on to use the Yelp Fusion APIs (specificall you will need your client_id, client_secret keys).
firebase functions:config:set google.api="GOOGLE PLACES API KEY" yelp.client_id="YELP CLIENT KEY" yelp.client_secret="YELP CLIENT SECRET"
After you are sure that you have configured this correctly, launch npm run deploy, which will deploy your application as well as set up Firebase Functions and Database Rules.
To load default data, make a get request to the Firebase Function called centers. The url would be https://us-central1-<APPID>.cloudfunctions.net/centers.
To test the application locally, simply run the command npm run start.
