Whale Spotting

This is a project to help users find out more about whales and to encourage them to go and spot whales in the wild.

Setting up

A database needs to be prepared, and all required dependencies need to be installed, before the project can be successfully run.

First, create a user with the following credentials and permissions:

• Username whales
• Password whales
• Able to login

Then, create a database called whales, owned by the user created previously (also called whales).

npm install

Inside the backend/ directory

dotnet restore
dotnet ef database update

Inside the frontend/ directory

npm install

Running the project

To run the project locally, the backend and frontend should be started separately.
