Basic Setup

This describes how to get the server up and running from scratch.

Installation of dependencies

Ensure you have the following installed.

1. mysql (Mine is version 5.6, but since I only use basic functionality my guess is anything upwards of 5 should work)
2. JVM (1.6/1.7)
3. maven (2/3)

Setting up the database

Run the SQL script load_schema.sql at the terminal.

mysql -u YOUR_USERNAME -p < $ROOT_DIR/load_schema.sql

Running the server

cd $ROOT_DIR
mvn jetty:run

Note: Alternatively you could build the codebase using mvn package and copy the jar to your tomcat folder.
