🚀 Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Java 8 or newer
• (Optional) PostgreSQL database for full functionality

1. Download Dependencies

All required JARs (PostgreSQL JDBC, JUnit, Hamcrest) are included in the lib/ folder.

2. Compile the Project

javac -cp "lib/*" -d out src/edu/ucalgary/oop/*.java

3. Run the Application

java -cp "out;lib/*" edu.ucalgary.oop.Main

4. Run the Tests

javac -cp "lib/*;out" -d out test/edu/ucalgary/oop/*.java
java -cp "out;lib/*" org.junit.runner.JUnitCore edu.ucalgary.oop.AllTests

🗄️ Database Connectivity

The application can connect to a PostgreSQL database for persistent data storage. By default, it attempts to connect to:

• jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/ensf380project
• User: oop

You can modify these settings in the source code to match your environment. If the database is unavailable, the app may still run in a limited mode.
