Step 1: Clone the Repository
Open Command Prompt or PowerShell.
Navigate to the folder where you want to store the project:
cd C:\Users\DELL\Desktop
Clone your repository from GitHub:
git clone https://github.com/DeveloperAravinth0027/Book-Management-System.git
Go inside the project folder:
cd "Book-Management-System"
Step 2: Backend Setup (Spring Boot + Java)
Make sure you have Java JDK installed (preferably JDK 11 or above) and Maven. Check:
java -version mvn -version
Navigate to the backend folder if your backend is in a separate folder (e.g., BookManagementSystemBackend):
cd backend # replace 'backend' with your folder name
Install dependencies and build the project:
mvn clean install
Run the Spring Boot application:
mvn spring-boot:run
✅ The backend server should start, usually on http://localhost:8080 .
Step 3: Frontend Setup (HTML, CSS, JavaScript)
Open a new terminal and go to your frontend folder (e.g., frontend):
cd frontend # replace 'frontend' with your folder name
If it’s pure HTML/CSS/JS, you can simply open index.html in your browser. If you’re using Vite, React, or Node.js, do the following:
npm install npm start
✅ The frontend server should start, usually on http://localhost:3000 (React/Vite) or just open index.html for plain HTML/JS.
Step 4: Connect Frontend with Backend
Make sure your frontend API calls point to the backend URL, usually:
http://localhost:8080/api/books
If you have AJAX/fetch requests, update the URLs to match your backend server.
Step 5: Testing the System
Open your frontend in a browser.
Try Add, Edit, Delete, View book operations.
Check if changes reflect in the backend database.
Step 6: Optional (Database Setup)
Make sure your SQL database is running (MySQL, PostgreSQL, etc.).
Import the database schema if provided:
CREATE DATABASE book_management; USE book_management;
-- run the provided SQL script if available
Update application.properties in Spring Boot with your DB credentials:
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/book_management spring.datasource.username=root spring.datasource.password=yourpassword
