Setup Weavy Server SDK

This article will help you get started with Weavy on your Windows developer machine.

***IMPORTANT - Be sure to install these items one at a time, otherwise you will get errors and a nonfunctioning SQL Server + Visual Studio***

1. Git for Windows
2. SQL Server ((you can install the free developer or express edition) 
3. SQL Server Management Studio
4. Visual Studio (you can install the free community edition)

If you see an option to add git to the PATH during installation, choose to do so. It will be handy. Also, make sure to launch Visual Studio 2019 and install any available updates.

We provide a Visual Studio Solution on GitHub to get you started. The solution contains a fully functional ASP.NET MVC web application that you can run on your local machine. In a terminal window, run the following command to clone the repository:

Open SQL Server Management studio and create a new database named weavy.

Once the repo is cloned and the database is created, use Visual Studio to open the solution file Weavy.sln from the root directory of the repo.

You can now run the project by pressing Ctrl+F5 or choosing Start Without Debugging from the Debug menu. When the app starts, you will see a browser window open with the setup wizard launched. After completing the setup you will be logged in to Weavy.
