 ## Database
-Whenever you do the initial `npm install` a db called `javascriptcom` is created
-for you. In the event that you need to drop that database and recreate it, don't
-forget to either run `npm install` again or `createdb javascriptcom`
+Download and install [MongoDB](https://www.mongodb.org/downloads)
 
-NPM will run new migrations whenever you `npm start`. In order for it to work,
-you'll need to set the `DATABASE_URL` ENV to pg://localhost:5432/javascriptcom.
-Migrations are already run for you after the initial `npm install`
+When you run `npm start`, mongod will be forked as a background process. No need
+to create the database either. You're all set.
 
-To create new migrations see the node-pg-migraton
-[documentation](https://github.com/theoephraim/node-pg-migrate).
-
-After setting your database up run `gulp seeds` to seed your database.
