How to Access and Start the Decision Support Product

Follow the steps below to properly access and run the product. Make sure you have the necessary tools installed, including Git, Apache Ant, and a Java SDK. If not, please install them before proceeding.

  1. Clone the Repository to Your Local Machine

    • Open your terminal or command-line interface (CLI).
    • To clone the repository to your local machine, run the following command in the terminal:
      git clone https://github.com/MetroCS/cs3250_practice.git
    • This will download the repository to your local system.

  2. Navigate into the Repository Directory

    • Once the repository has been cloned, you need to navigate to the correct directory on your local machine. You can do this using the cd command in your terminal: cd cs3250_practice
    • This command changes your working directory to the cs3250_practice folder.

  3. Navigate into the decision_support Directory

    • Now, you need to navigate to the decision_support subdirectory. Enter the following command: cd decision_support

  4. Run the Product Using Apache Ant

    • Once inside the decision_support directory, you will use Apache Ant to build and run the project. Enter the following command to execute the product: ant run
    • The product should now start and be ready for use.

  5. Troubleshooting

    • If you encounter any issues, ensure you have Git, Apache Ant, and the Java SDK properly installed. You can verify their installations by running: git --version ant -version java --version
    • Additionally, ensure that you are in the correct directory before issuing the ant run command. (The file build.xml appears in the correct directory.)
