If I'm not mistaken, you must add the .env file that refers to the environment variables for the connection to the mongo database @anuvivin

Yeah you're right, and I'm glad you replied I just saw this issue now.

Ok, for me it is my pleasure to answer, you could create a .env.example file to put all the necessary environment variables and when someone executes it locally put the values of their machine and thus not upload confidential data to github. Also if you allow me I can do a PR with that small change @moelashmawy
