This document helps to run and navigate through the application.
Frontend Tools: Visual Studio Code Node.js npm
Backend Tools: Visual Studio
Import the project code from GitHub repository:
Source: HTTPS:
https://github.com/amosproj/amos-ss2021-carbon-footprint.git
SSH:
[email protected]:amosproj/amos-ss2021-carbon-footprint.git
- Import the code into the visual studio.

This should build the code and open the project in the browser as shown below. (The landing and login page is still under development. The website will redirect to the “My Dashboard” page of the project which is also under development at this point in time.)
Once both the frontend and backend codes are running all the functionalities of the website can be accessed.
- Choose the category of product from the side navigation bar. The products/Services/Solutions under the chosen category can be selected from here.
