Before you run the application

• Change the connection string.

  To run the application you must have a database, so you must change the Data Source in the connection string in the project Vegan.Web. The way to go there is: Vegan.Web ⟹ Web.config ⟹ line 106 ⟹ Data Source

• Create the database

  To run the migration you must update the database from the Vegan.Database project. If you use Visual Studio you can do that from the Package Manager Console. Make sure that the default project in the Default project tab is the Vegan.Database and type the command ”update‐database”.

• Run

  If the database has been created run the application from the project Vegan.Web.
