Install sails.js globally with npm install -g sails.
Current project uses localDiskDb, if you would like to change it to mysql, install another two packages:
npm install sails-mysql
and
npm install -g mysql
and then configure connections.js & models.js files.
Download the project and
use npm install command to install the dependencies.
Now run sails lift command to start sails local serve, now browse to localhost:1337.
