You need to have Python 3 and Poetry installed. To install Poetry, follow the instructions [here](https://python-poetry.org/docs/#installation).
# Start server
Every following instructions has to be followed every time before starting the server if not mentioned otherwise.
Navigate to the directory `advlabdb` where the repository is cloned and run:
```
git pull
```
to pull the latest changes from the remote repository. Then run:
```
poetry install
```
to install (or update) all needed packages to the virtual environment. Now enter the virtual environment:
```
poetry shell
```
If you are starting the server for the first time or you want to drop and recreate the database then run:
```
python testDB.py
```
This creates the database with some elements for testing.
Now you can start the server by running:
```
python run.py
```
This command will print out the URL for accessing the local server. For example:
```
* Running on http://127.0.0.1:5000/ (Press CTRL+C to quit)
```
This URL leads to the home page. Now login and then navigate to `/admin` as shown on the home page after login.
## Pay attention to:
- If you create a semester, then you have to set it as the active semester for you as current user. For that, navigate to the home page / (or click on the `Links` drop down menu in the navigation bar then `Home`). Then click on the `Semester` drop down menu in the navigation bar to choose the semester you have created to be the active one. Then navigate back to `/admin`. This will be fixed soon.
