1. Clone the repository to your local machine:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/etl-framework-template.git
   

2. Navigate to the project directory by entering the following command in the terminal:

   cd etl-framework-template

3. Install dependencies using Visual Studio. This .NET project relies on NuGet packages for various dependencies. To automatically restore these packages, simply open the solution file (.sln) in Visual Studio. Visual Studio will prompt you to restore any missing NuGet packages upon building the project.

   If you prefer using the command line, navigate to the project directory and run the following command to manually restore the NuGet packages:

   dotnet restore

   This command ensures that all the necessary dependencies are correctly installed and up-to-date, making your project ready for development and execution.

4. Configure your application settings, such as database connection strings, by editing the App.Config file.

5. Build the project to verify that everything is set up correctly:

   dotnet build
