Start the Back End

Each project needs to be started independently. Start the back end by using cd to navigate to the api directory, then issue the command npm start:

$ npm start

> node src/index.js

Tic Tac Toe app listening on port 3001! 

Start the Front End

Open a new command prompt (leaving the previous open), then navigate to the web directory, then npm start:
