• SQL Server 2019
• Visual Studio 2022 (version 17.5 or higher)
• Node.js (preferably latest)
• Yarn package manager
  • yarn command available in the PATH environment variable

• Execute the InitializeDatabase.sql which will create and initializes a demo database
• Restore the NuGet packages of the whole solution
• Install the node packages that are needed for the frontend
