Install the following software:

• Docker
  • To run the application
• VSCode
  • To view and edit this code

To get started, download this code to your machine

To run the application, launch Docker (by opening the app) and run the following terminal commands:

docker-compose down docker-compose build docker-compose up

When you run these commands, you will need to be in the gt-webdev-activity-2-starter-code directory.

If you get an error that says, "docker-compose: command not found", you may have to run the following commands instead:

docker compose down docker compose build docker compose up

If you get an error that says, "permission denied", you may need to run the commands using "sudo" (if you are on Mac or Linux). In other words, the following commands:

docker-compose down sudo docker-compose build sudo docker-compose up

The React application should then be hosted on http://localhost:3000, which you can see in your browser. Code changes will automatically cause the website and server code to reload

If you encounter issues with Docker, try clearing caches:

docker kill $(docker ps -q) docker_clean_ps docker rmi $(docker images -a -q)
