MongoDB is a prerequisite. Are you running mongodb prior to executing nodemon?

systemctl status mongodb systemctl start mongodb

Refer to the tutorial here: https://thinkster.io/tutorials/node-json-api
And to the MongoDB docs: https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/installation/

---

Additionally, check to see that how mongoose is set in your app.js file. I had to change it from "localhost" to "127.0.0.1" for it to run.

if(isProduction){ mongoose.connect(process.env.MONGODB_URI); } else { mongoose.connect('mongodb://127.0.0.1/conduit'); mongoose.set('debug', true); }

This project is just API implemented in Node.js, so there is no Front-End by default.
I guess you are accessing URI / which is not handled by this application and that's why you get 404 error.

Try to access as an example URI /api/articles and if you see output {"articles":[],"articlesCount":0} then everything works correctly.

You can check all APIs available in routes folder of this project.
