Deployment

To work with the PollyVerse-Backend project hosted on GitHub, follow these steps:

Certainly! To run a Spring Boot project from the given GitHub repository using IntelliJ IDEA or Spring Tool Suite (STS) with JDK 21, follow these steps:

1. Clone the Repository:

   • Open your terminal or Git Bash.
   • Navigate to the directory where you want to clone the project.
   • Run the following command to clone the repository:

     git clone https://github.com/Jeet-Codes/PollyVerse.git

   • This will create a local copy of the project on your machine.

2. Open the Project in IntelliJ IDEA or STS:

   • Open IntelliJ IDEA or Spring Tool Suite.
   • Click on File > Open and select the cloned project directory (PollyVerse).

3. Configure JDK 21:

   • Make sure you have JDK 21 installed on your system.
   • In IntelliJ IDEA:
     • Go to File > Project Structure.
     • Under Project, set the Project SDK to JDK 21.
   • In STS:
     • Go to Window > Preferences > Java > Installed JREs.
     • Add JDK 21 if it's not already listed.

4. Build and Run the Application:

   • In IntelliJ IDEA:
     • Open the PollyVerseApplication.java file (usually located under src/main/java/com/example/pollyverse).
     • Right-click on the class and select Run 'PollyVerseApplication'.
     • The Spring Boot application will start, and you can access it in your browser at http://localhost:8080.
   • In STS:
     • Similar to IntelliJ IDEA, locate the PollyVerseApplication.java file and run it.
     • Access the application at http://localhost:8080.

5. Explore and Modify:

   • You're all set! Now you can explore the code, make changes, and see live updates in your browser.
   • The project structure includes components, controllers, services, and other Spring-related files.

6. Build for Production:

   • When you're ready to deploy your app, create a production build:
     • In IntelliJ IDEA, build an executable JAR by running the following command in the terminal:

       mvn clean package

     • In STS, you can also use Maven to build the project.

Remember to replace the repository URL with the actual one you want to clone. Happy coding! 😊

Note: If you encounter any issues related to JDK 21 compatibility, ensure that your IDE is configured correctly to use JDK 21. You can manage SDKs in the project settings. If needed, refer to the official documentation for IntelliJ IDEA or STS for additional guidance.
