Prerequisites

Before getting started, you need to ensure that the following software is installed:

• Git

You also need to have a basic understanding of the command-line interface.

Step 1: Clone the HRCloud2 repository

The first step is to download the HRCloud2 source code. To do this, open the command prompt and navigate to the folder where you want to save the HRCloud2 repository. Then, enter the following command:

Now you need to install the necessary dependencies for HRCloud2. To do this, enter the following command:

npm install

This will install all the required packages and libraries defined in the package.json file.

Step 3: Configure the database

HRCloud2 requires a MySQL database to store its data. To configure the database, you need to:

1. Create a new database in MySQL.
2. Update the config.json file with your MySQL database settings.

{
    "database": {
        "host": "localhost",
        "user": "root",
        "password": "",
        "database": "hrcloud2"
    }
}

This is an example configuration file. You need to update the host, user, password, and database parameters with the details of your MySQL database.

Step 4: Run the application

After configuring the database, you can start HRCloud2 by running the following command:

npm start

This will start the server and the application will be accessible at http://localhost:3000.
