- Download NetBeans or another IDE of your choice.
- Download Apache Tomcat by following these instructions. No need to manually start the Tomcat server as the IDE will take care of it.
- Open NetBeans and click on the New Project icon. From here, select Java with Maven under Categories then Project with Existing POM under Projects. Next, click Finish and a new modal will open where you should point the project to the directory where you cloned this repo.
- Add the Tomcat server in the Services. In this tab, right click on Servers and Add Server. Select Apache Tomcat then enter in the directory location where you downloaded Tomcat and a username and password for the server.
- Using NetBeans, click the Clean and Build Project icon.
- Click the Run Project icon. This will start the Tomcat server and should open the application in the browser.
