How to set up the development environment

Steps to prepare your system to start developing

1. Install necessary software

• Java integrated development environment (IDE), e.g. IntelliJ IDEA
• Git, a distributed version-control system for tracking changes in source code during software development.
• PostgreSQL, an open source object-relational database system. The information that you are going to need to configure the connection to the database is: URL and PORT where PostgreSQL is accessible, username, and password

2. Clone a repository

After you finish creating a local copy of a repository, e.g. qrapids-dashboard, on your computer. Open it in you Java IDE and let it build necessary Gradle files, it’s important for the next step.

Also you will need to add a personal application.properties file to src/main/resources. ! Important: this file will contain private configuration information, so take care to not upload it with the commits.

3. Run the project

To make it work correctly, you need to run the project in the following way: Gradle-Tasks-application-bootRun.

You can see the web application work on http://localhost:8080.
