Installation Process
To run “The Green Thumb”, first a local instance of the server has to be initialized. It is assumed that both a Java JDK and an IDE such as IntelliJ or Eclipse are installed and that the users operating system is Windows.
- Download and install the latest version of MYSQL and of Apache Tomcat.
- Make sure that a MYSQL connection is created using the hostname “localhost” and the port “3306”.
- Run the entire startup script in MYSQL.
- Import the server as a Maven project and resolve all dependencies.
- Run the maven lifecycle command “package” with the “Skip Tests” mode toggled on. This should create a new folder called “target” with, among other things, a file called “spring-crm-rest.war”.
- Exploded deploy the new “spring-crm-rest.war” file in the Tomcat server i.e. by moving it into the Tomcat Webapp folder. Make sure that the Tomcat server runs on port “8082”.
Now, the client can be started.
- Import the client as a Maven project and resolve all dependencies.
- Run the client by executing the main method in the Application class.
