The following modules are required:

Each module can be installed using npm. For example to install node, all you have to do is execute the following command
npm install node

Next, you have to change the connection string and database name for mongodb as well as mention the base path in the following file:
config/settings.js
There should be 3 collections in the database:

1. users
2. documents
3. online users

The users collection has users' name, email and password stored. The documents collection has author, name, docText, dateCreated and collaborators fields. The online users collection has the emails of users currently logged in.

Finally, go to the project directory and run the following command:
node main.js

Then open the browser and go to localhost:8888
