Detailed Instructions

To run the application locally, make sure the following tools are installed on your machine:

• Node.js and npm (Node Package Manager)
  • Node.js allows JavaScript applications to run outside of a browser.
  • npm is used to install and manage project dependencies.

Verify Node.js and npm installation: After installation, check if they’re functioning by opening Command Prompt or Terminal and running the following commands:

node -v
npm -v

If these commands don’t return the installed versions, there may have been a configuration issue.

• Visual Studio Code (VS Code)

  • VS Code will be the main code editor for this project.
  • Download from the official site: Visual Studio Code.

• Git

  • Git manages code versioning and collaboration, allowing repository cloning and seamless teamwork.
  • Download from the official site: Git.

Cloning the Project Repository

If the project isn’t already downloaded, clone the GitHub repository with these steps:

1. Open Command Prompt or Terminal, then run:

   git clone https://github.com/iraduq/finalproject.git

2. After cloning, navigate to the project’s root directory:

   cd finalproject

Open Project in VS Code

1. Launch Visual Studio Code.
2. From the top menu, go to File -> Open Folder and select the project folder (finalproject).

Install Project Dependencies

In the VS Code terminal, run the following command to install dependencies:

npm install

Update IP Configurations

Before running the application, ensure the IPs and ports on the server are configured correctly:

1. Open the file config.ts located in the project’s src directory (finalproject/src/config.ts).
2. Update the IP address to match the server's IP.

Run the Application

Once dependencies are installed and IP configurations are updated, you can run the application locally:

npm run dev

If everything is configured correctly, you should see links to the online site. Click the link containing "localhost" to access the application.
