First do an npm install in the rest-server folder to install all the modules.
Install mongoose and mongoose-currency Node modules by typing the following at the prompt:

     npm install     
     npm install mongoose mongoose-currency --save

Open app.js file and add in the code to connect to the MongoDB server as follow:

var mongoose = require('mongoose');
var url = 'mongodb://localhost:27017/conFusion';
mongoose.connect(url);
var db = mongoose.connection;
db.on('error', console.error.bind(console, 'connection error:'));
db.once('open', function () {
    // we're connected!
    console.log("Connected correctly to server");
