Build Instructions

Prerequisites

• Java Development Kit (JDK 17) installed
• Apache Maven installed
• Git installed (if cloning from GitHub)
• IntelliJ IDEA (Recommended for ease of setup)

Setup Instructions

1. Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/gordon-v/growbridge-io.git
cd growbridge-io

2. Open the Project in IntelliJ IDEA

• Launch IntelliJ IDEA and open the pom.xml file.
• IntelliJ will automatically download all necessary dependencies.
• *If IntelliJ highlights SQL strings as *warnings, you can ignore them for now. We will configure the database connection in the next steps.

3. Configure Database Connection

• Navigate to config/db.config.
• Fill in the required database connection details (e.g., HOST, NAME, USER). These details will be used at runtime to establish a connection to the PostgreSQL database.

4. Build and Run the Application

• Open MarketingApp.java.
• Click the Run or Debug button to launch the application.
