Note to others: You might have to swap the order of instructions

I'm using Cloud9 to follow along, and after I cloned the repo, I cd'ed into the directory and npm install gave an error.

Instead, I had to run: git checkout addingRoutesToTheApp.

Once that ran, THEN I could run npm install and all was good in the world.
