How to run SAT

== How to download and then run SAT==

Warning
This version of the program is very imature and is missing key functionality. It is here so that you can test basically that the program runs and can connect to the database.

Step 1 - install necessary tools
Read Tools Used section of the implementation document, it describes a lot of useful stuff you can use to make running the SAT easier.

You don't need to install all of the tools if you just want to run the app.

The bare minimum required to run SAT is;

.net runtime support

a mysql engine

the software itself which is available here

==Step 2 - create database ==

Currently SAT does not create a database - read the implementation document to get schema for the database. Create the database productionDB with the correct as specified above.

==Step 3 - Create csv seeding files ==

In order to bulk load data into the files we need to extract information from RMU (or your favourite excel spreadsheet), format it into CSV files and the import it into the database via the import data file menu options in the SAT application.

Head over to the page that descibes the CSV files.

==Step 4 - run SAT ==

Navigate to C:\---wherever you store stuff--\SchoolAssetTracker-0.01\SchoolAssetTracker\SchoolAssetTracker\bin\Debug

run SchoolAssetTracker.exe

Step 5 - import your CSV files
Take the import option from the SAT menu and go from there.
