1. Clone the repo to your local machine.
2. Restore the database from the AA.CommoditiesDashboard.bak file to your local SQL Server instance.
   In my case, in SSMS, I ran the following ...

RESTORE DATABASE [AA.CommoditiesDashboard] FROM DISK='%USERPROFILE%\source\repos\AAL\aal-analytics\AA.CommoditiesDashboard.bak'
WITH 
MOVE 'AA.CommoditiesDashboard' TO '%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server Local DB\Instances\MSSQLLocalDB\AA.CommoditiesDashboard.mdf',
MOVE 'AA.CommoditiesDashboard_log' TO '%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server Local DB\Instances\MSSQLLocalDB\AA.CommoditiesDashboard_log.ldf'

(Change the DISK path to wherever the file is locally. You'll also need to replace the placeholders '%USERPROFILE% and %LOCALAPPDATA%.)

If, for any reason, your database connection string needs to be changed from Data Source=(localdb)\\MSSQLLocalDB;Initial Catalog=AA.CommoditiesDashboard;Integrated Security=True;, you can edit the value in appsetttings.Development.json.

{
  "ConnectionStrings": {
    "AA.CommoditiesDashboard": "Data Source=(localdb)\\MSSQLLocalDB;Initial Catalog=AA.CommoditiesDashboard;Integrated Security=True;"
  }
}

3. Start the API from VS as normal (defaults to https://localhost:5000)
4. Build the UI with npm install
5. Start the UI with ng serve (defaults to https://localhost:4200)

• I changed the test runner on Angular to Jest because (I think) I was having clashes between my global version of Angular (v13) and the boiler-plate project version (v12) which were taking too long to resolve. Use npm run test to run the unit tests.
