Begin by cloning the ParkSpace repository using Git:

git clone https://git.cs.dal.ca/patel33/csci_5708_group_12g_project.git

Open the cloned ParkSpace project in Android Studio.

Ensure that Gradle files are synced by clicking on the "Sync Project with Gradle Files" icon or through the "File" menu.

ParkSpace utilizes Firebase services. Set up your Firebase project and add the necessary configuration files (google-services.json) to the app module.

If your application uses APIs requiring keys (e.g., Google Maps API, Firebase services), obtain the necessary API keys and add them to your project's configuration files (e.g., google_maps_api.xml).

ParkSpace supports different build variants for debugging and release. Select the desired build variant from the "Build Variants" tab in Android Studio.

You can run the ParkSpace application on an emulator or a physical device connected to your development machine. Select the target device from the device dropdown menu in Android Studio and click on the "Run" button.

To generate an APK file for distribution, select "Build" > "Build Bundle(s) / APK(s)" > "Build APK(s)" from the Android Studio menu. The APK file will be generated in the project's "build" directory.
