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

poetry install

poetry shell

ONLY IF you are starting the server for the first time without an existing database or you want to !drop and recreate! the database then run:

# CAUTION, running this drops an existing database!
python testDB.py
