• if you're using prepared database, continue to spin up your dev server
• customize connection string in package.json on line 5: MONGO_URL={connectionstring}
• import all jsons in folder mongo_dumps to your mongoDB. Name the collections as the filename indicates.

run npm run start in root directory. If you're running Windows, make sure you use git-bash. otherwise you can't pass environment variables to cli-commands.
