# Setup

## Setup

1. First, clone the repository to your local machine. Open a terminal and navigate to the directory where you want to clone the repository. Then run the following command:

```bash
   git clone https://github.com/j-w-s/senior-capstone.git
```

2. Navigate to the cloned repository's directory:

```bash
   cd senior-capstone
```

3. Install the project dependencies. The repository uses npm (Node Package Manager) as its package manager. Run the following command to install the dependencies:

```bash
   npm install
```

4. Now, open Visual Studio and select the local repository's folder to view it as a project.
5. Once the project is open in Visual Studio, you can start the development server. In the terminal (accessed via View -> Terminal), run:

```bash
   ng serve
```

6. The local development server can be found at `http://localhost:4200/` . Any changes made in this environment will not be reflected in production. To deploy these changes, run the following command in the terminal:

```bash
    firebase deploy
```
