Firebase Admin SDK - Require is not defined

I'm currently looking through the Firebase documentation found here...

https://firebase.google.com/docs/admin/setup

... regarding how to initialise the Admin SDK.

I know the article states adding the Firebase Admin SDK to your SERVER - but how would I add this to my application as I am unsure how to add it to a server.

I have tried simply adding it to my index.js file but the console returns the 

`Uncaught ReferenceError: require is not defined`

My code:

var admin = require("firebase-admin");

var serviceAccount = require("/Users/morgannwg/Downloads/<JSON NAME>.json");

admin.initializeApp({
  credential: admin.credential.cert(serviceAccount),
  databaseURL: "https://<URL>.firebaseio.com"
});

Any ideas?

Many thanks,

G

You need to create Node.js server app. Here's an example: https://github.com/firebase/quickstart-nodejs
