**Installation instructions for the backend:**
1. Download Much-Assembly-Required from [here](https://github.com/simon987/Much-Assembly-Required).
2. Download the JDK from [here](http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html).
Install the JDK and update your PATH and JAVA_HOME enviroment variables.
3. Download Maven from [here](https://maven.apache.org/).
Install Maven (following the README) and update your PATH enviroment variable.
4. Download Mongo DB Community from [here](https://www.mongodb.com/download-center#community).
Install Mongo DB following the instructions [here](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-windows/).
Update your PATH enviroment variable.
**Installation instructions for the frontend:**
1. Install a PHP environnment and a MySQL server (e.g. XAMPP from [here](https://www.apachefriends.org/index.html)).
2. Download Much-Assembly-Required-Frontend from [here](https://github.com/simon987/Much-Assembly-Required-Frontend), and place it into the ```htdocs``` folder for XAMPP. In a typical installation, for example, you could place the frontend files into the ```C:\xampp\htdocs\MAR``` folder. See [here](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1408/make-xampp-apache-serve-file-outside-of-htdocs) for how to run PHP code with XAMPP outside of the ```htdocs``` folder.
3. Configure the MAR database, using the installation script [database.sql](https://github.com/simon987/Much-Assembly-Required-Frontend/blob/master/database.sql). Fire up MySQL in a Command Prompt window:
```batch
mysql -u root -p
```
After entering your root password (XAMPP default is empty, change it!), type the following commands in the MySQL interface:
```
MariaDB [(none)]> CREATE DATABASE mar;
MariaDB [(none)]> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON mar.* to 'mar'@'localhost' identified by 'mar';
MariaDB [(none)]> FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
MariaDB [(none)]> USE mar;
MariaDB [mar]> \. database.sql
MariaDB [(none)]> exit
```
Remember that the database.sql file must be in the same folder you run the mysql command from.
**Building instructions for the backend:**
```batch
:: Builds the server
cd Much-Assembly-Required
mvn package
```
**Running instructions:**
1. In one Command Prompt window, run Mongo DB:
```batch
:: Runs Mongo DB
mongod
```
2. In a second Command Prompt window, run the MAR server:
```batch
:: Runs the MAR server
cd Much-Assembly-Required\target
java -jar server-1.2a.jar
```
3. Start Apache and MySQL from the XAMPP control panel.
4. Run the frontend from localhost (e.g. if you placed the frontend into the ```C:\xampp\htdocs\MAR``` folder, you could run it from localhost by typing ```http://localhost/MAR``` in your web browser).
