• install deno
  • curl -fsSL https://deno.land/x/install/install.sh | sh
  • follow the instructions that print at the end of the script about setting up deno info in your bashrc
  • exec bash to use the .bashrc changes
• copy .env.example to .env and update the parameters in it
• run deno run --allow-read --allow-net --unstable --allow-env index.js

sometimes you need to run deno cache -r index.js due to stale code sitting in the cache. The database uses a cert to encrypt traffic. if the cert is expired it will need dealt with.
