Setup and Installation Requirements

• Clone this repo.
• Open your terminal (e.g., Terminal or GitBash) and navigate to this project's production directory called "HairSalon".
• This program was built using Microsoft .NET SDK 6.0, and may not be compatible with other versions.
• Open the browser to [https://localhost:5001]. If you cannot access localhost:5001 it is likely because you have not configured a .NET developer security certificate for HTTPS. To learn about this, visit: Redirecting to HTTPS and Issuing a Security Certificate.

SQL Workbench Configuration

• Create an appsetting.json file in the "HairSalon" directory of the project.
• Within appsettings.json, put in the following code, replacing the uid and pwd values with your own username and password for MySQL. Be sure to exclude the brackets as well

{
    "ConnectionStrings": {
        "DefaultConnection": "Server=localhost;Port=3306;database=noah_atkinson;uid=[YOUR-USERNAME-HERE];pwd=[YOUR-PASSWORD-HERE];"
    }
}

• If you'd like to push this cloned project to a public-facing repository, remember to add the appsettings.json file to your .gitignore first.
• Once "appsettings.json" file has been created, navigate back to SQL Workbench.
• Import the database named "noah_atkinson.sql" from the root directory of the project.

Database Import Instructions

• Open SQL workbench.
• Navigate to the "Administration" tab in SQL Workbench.
