Quick Start

For a rapid build and deployment in development mode, follow the steps below. For production deployment, see the wiki.

Make sure you have all requirements installed.
Create a new PostgreSQL database.
Create a new file, src/main/resources/application.properties. Use the application.properties.example file as a template for filling out the required parameters for running the application.
Create a new file, flyway.conf, using the flyway.conf.example file as a template. Fill in your database's username, password, and connection URL.

Build the application in the following order:

npm install
npm run build
mvn clean package -DskipTests

Run the Flyway plugin to import the Study Tracker database schema and default data:
```
mvn -Dflyway.configFiles=flyway.conf flyway:clean flyway:migrate
```
You can run the application with Maven:
```
mvn spring-boot:run 
```
Or, you can execute the packaged WAR file directly:
