Novice Asks: Need procedure to host unique version.

[mlacagnina]

Love the concept and the approach. Can you provide the necessary steps to host my own version so I set breakpoints, try changes, etc. After importing from GitHub into VS it builds but will not run. I'm assuming the database is missing.

Thank You!

Correct. You are going to need to install SQL Express and host "BookStores_DEV" database. You can find the DB script for generating schema and data at
https://github.com/CuriousDrive/BookStores/blob/master/BookStoresWebAPI/Database/Backups/BookStoresDB.sql

Let me know if that works for you or not. I am closing this issue for now
