1. Make sure you have all requirements installed.

2. Create a new PostgreSQL database.

3. Create a new file, src/main/resources/application.properties. Use the application.properties.example file as a template for filling out the required parameters for running the application.

4. Create a new file, flyway.conf, using the flyway.conf.example file as a template. Fill in your database's username, password, and connection URL.

5. Build the application in the following order:

   npm install
   npm run build
   mvn clean package -DskipTests

6. Run the Flyway plugin to import the Study Tracker database schema and default data:

   mvn -Dflyway.configFiles=flyway.conf flyway:clean flyway:migrate

7. You can run the application with Maven:
