Make sure you have nodemon and node-sass installed $ npm install -g nodemon node-sass

Run the following at the same time, in two terminals

$ API=http://localhost:3001 nodemon server.js
$ node-sass -w sass/application.scss public/css/application.css

To run the server as a daemon that will be re-run if it crashes, you can use the forever node package.

$ npm install -g forever
$ forever start server.js

Run the metamaps api in another terminal using $ rails s -p 3001
