### Prerequisites

- Git
- Rust 1.55.0 or later
- A PostgreSQL database

### Installation

1. Clone the repository:

```
https://github.com/sshmendez/ContractStream.git
cd ContractStream
```

2. Set up the PostgreSQL database:

- Create a new database for the platform.
- Execute the SQL scripts located in the `migrations` folder to set up the necessary tables.

```
./initdb.sh --prod --create
```

This script runs `sqlx`, creating a database and initializing every table.

3. Configure the platform:

- Create a `.env` file in the root directory with the following contents:

```
DATABASE_URL=postgres://username:password@localhost/db_name
```

Replace `username`, `password`, and `db_name` with the appropriate values for your PostgreSQL database.

4. Build and run the platform:

```
cargo run
```

The platform will be accessible at `http://localhost:8080`.
