Medusa requires Node.js v16+, Git, and PostgreSQL to be installed. If you don't have them installed already, you can check out the [Prepare Environment](./prepare-environment.mdx) documnetation to learn how to install them.
|
||||
Before you can install and use Medusa, you need the following tools installed on your machine:

||||
|
||||
- [Node.js v16+](./prepare-environment.mdx#nodejs)
|

- [Git](./prepare-environment.mdx#git)

If you want to apply this example for a different entity or set of endpoints, you would need to change the import path `@medusajs/medusa/dist/api/routes/store/products/index` to the path of the endpoints you're targeting. You also need to change `allowedStoreProductsFields` and `defaultStoreProductsFields` to the names of the variables in that file, and the same goes for relations. Typically, these names would be of the format `(allowed|default)(Store|Admin)(Entity)(Fields|Relation)`.

## How to Run Migrations

Migrations in Medusa can be done in one of two ways:
|
||||
## Migration Commands
|
||||
|
||||
### Migrate Command
|
||||
|
||||
Using the Medusa CLI tool, you can run migrations with the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
medusa migrations run
|
||||
npx @medusajs/medusa-cli migrations run
|
||||
```
|
||||

This will check for any migrations that contain changes to your database schema that aren't applied yet and run them on your backend.

You can use the following command to seed your database:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash npm2yarn
|
||||
npm run seed
|
||||
npx @medusajs/medusa-cli@latest seed -f ./data/seed.json
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This will use the underlying `seed` command provided by Medusa's CLI to seed your database with data from the file `data/seed.json` on your Medusa backend.
|
||||
This assumes that you have the file `data/seed.json` in your Medusa backend, which is available by default. It includes the demo data to seed into your database.
|
||||
|
||||
### Revert Migrations
|
||||
|
||||
To revert the last migration you ran, run the following command:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
npx @medusajs/medusa-cli@latest migrations revert
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Other Migrations Commands
|
||||
|
||||
You can learn about migration commands available in the Medusa CLI tool by referring to the [Medusa CLI reference](../../../cli/reference.md#migrations)
