How to run the website

1. Please ensure you have installed npm, php, composer for php, and a sql database, i.e. mariadb
2. You can update the .env file inside Work_station-api DB_ section as you wish
3. Migrate the database; in a terminal:
   1. Navigate to Work_station-api/ and run php artisan migrate. A pop up will ask if you want to create the Work_station database and you have to check yes.
   2. Next, navigate to the root of the project cd .. and run mysql -u root -p Work_station < database.sql and enter the password (default: "password"). Congrats, the database is now populated!
4. Launch the servers; run 2 terminals:
   • In the first one, navigate to Work_station-api/, and run composer install then composer update. Then run php artisan serve to launch the api server.
   • In the second one, navigate to Work_station-react/, and run the command npm install then npm update. Then run npm run dev to launch the front server.
5. Now open your favorite browser (Firefox), and open in a new tab localhost:3000

You can now use our website! Enjoy!
