2. Edit the ~/.bashrc file and give the path name of the bin folder inside the activator directory (after extracting activator. Use following commands to do so - $ sudo nano ~/.bashrc At the end of file add this line - export PATH = pathToBinFolderInsideActivator-1.3.10-minimal: $PATH

eg: export PATH = user/home/Desktop/activator-1.3.10-minimal/bin: $PATH save the file and exit

3. Clone the project from Git link: https://github.com/surajanthwal/NotificationUsingWebSockets.git

4. Create the MySQL database “UserData” from MySQL dump inside “pathToProjectDirectory/public/UserData.sql” Steps: Inside MySQL console mysql> create database UserData; mysql> use UserData; mysql> source /pathToUserData.sql;

5. Open the terminal, go to the project directory and use this command to start the server on the machine as localhost. NOTE: During first run, activator will download required plugins and dependancies, so it may take a while. $ activator run use ctrl + c to stop the server
