firstly clone the repository by running:

git clone https://github.com/TheDarkRuler/web-proj.git

After cloning the repository run:

cd web-proj

to enter the root folder of the application.

To run the social network locally on your device you can run the docker container created by building and then running it:

docker compose build

docker compose up

Otherwise you can use XAMPP and set it up manually as you wish.

The database will be populated with some mockup data to test it, as this repo is a testing version of the actual social media.

PS: be sure to have the port 41062 free when running the docker image (you can change it in the compose.yml file).

After the docker image is running just open http://localhost:41062/www/frontend/index.html
and enjoy!!
