To get started on developing this project, clone the repository, and import the project using your preferred IDE. If you are running without an IDE, or one without built-in Gradle support, you can use the bundled Gradle wrapper to build and run the project:
git clone https://github.com/ooagroup/astroexplorer.git
cd astroexplorer
./gradlew run
If you are using IntelliJ, clone the repository, then use the import tool to
import the project by selecting the build.gradle file contained within this
repository. You can do this by going to the IntelliJ welcome window, and
selecting Import Project. This will bring up a dialogue that contains a file
selector. Use this to select astroexplorer/build.gradle, wherever you have
cloned the repository. Proceed to the next window, ensure Use auto-import
and Use default gradle wrapper are checked, then click OK. You can leave
all other settings on the page the same as you found them. Once the build
process completes for the first time, you will be able to run the application.

gradle run
