EagleTracks is an unofficial companion app for use with Quartzy lab management to track items as they change location, are consumed or broken, and make real time adjustments to Quartzy's inventory.

The app project files are all stored in the EagleTracks folder.

All data related to the app is stored across the branches: main, Arthur-Branch, Barcode-scanner, and CSV-Branch, and in the forks CKappes-Git/Quartzy-inventory-tracker, and A-Tanner/Quartzy-inventory-tracker.

To run this code, you will need React Native Expo and, by extension, Node.js.

Node.js can be installed through their website: https://nodejs.org/en

Once Node.js in installed, all other requirements can be installed by cloning the repo or downloading our code, navigating to the EagleTracks folder, and running:

"npm install"

Note: if you are using Visual Studio Code, you can open the folder, create a new terminal, and run the command from there.

Once the installation is complete, run the command "npm start" to start the app (in visual studio code, this can be done from a terminal while the project folder is opened).

Once the app is running, you pull it up on your phone in two ways.

1. You can use an emulator on your computer (such as through Android Studio's built-in emulators).
2. You can download the Expo Go app on your phone and directly run the app on your phone.

Once you have the app running, please know that you will need a Quartzy account and follow these steps.
Note: a more detailed description of these steps is available at the end of the user guide.
