Run Locally

First clone the repo

git clone 

Database

To run locally an instance of the PostgreSQL database must first be configured. To do this first log into PostgreSQL and run the following commands

To create the database

CREATE DATABASE thinkersol;

Connect to database

\c thinkersol

Now run all the SQL scripts in the db-v1.11 file found in the Backend folder under SQL Scripts Once this is done you will have a empty database

To copy over the sample data run a copy command for each CSV file: PSQL Command Help

Backend

First configure application.yml in SpringBoot: Application.yml Config Example

Go to API folder

cd /Backend/API

Install dependencies and run a build

./mvnw clean package

Run the SpringBoot application

java -jar ./target/thinkersol-API.jar

Now the backend should be live on localhost:8080!

Go to the frontend directory

  cd /Frontend

Install dependencies

  npm install
