• Apache Tomcat 10.x.

Getting Started

Cloning the Repository

Building the Project

1. Navigate to the project's root directory:

cd GatherGrid/

2. Build the project using Maven:

This will compile the source code, run tests, and package the application into a WAR file.

Configuring Tomcat

Running the Application

1. Copy the generated WAR file (usually located in the target directory) to the Tomcat webapps directory:

cp target/your-project.war <Tomcat Installation Directory>/webapps/

2. Start Tomcat:

   <Tomcat Installation Directory>/bin/startup.sh  # on Unix-like systems
   <Tomcat Installation Directory>\bin\startup.bat  # on Windows

3. Access your application in a web browser:

http://localhost:8080/your-project
