This repo provides the skeleton to get you started with using Medusa. Follow the steps below to get ready.

## Prerequisites
- Have Postgresql installed and ensure it is running and initialized.
    - `$ brew install postgresql`
    - `$ brew services start postgresql`
    - `$ createdb`

## Running Medusa
- Get your environment variables ready: 
  ```

  ```
- Install all dependencies 
  ```
  $ yarn
  ```
- Create a local postgres database using 
  ```

  ```
