Setup

Installation

1. Download Android Studio Here. This is where we write the code. spam click next on the setup page unless you would like to change the default settings. Once the setup wizard page opens, click next twice, then make sure the UI theme is darcula and click next a third time and click finish. This may take a while to install completely.

2. Set up WSL Here. This can be annoying to do, so good luck!

3. install git.
   a. first run this line in ubuntu.
   apt-get install git Ubuntu might tell you to use sudo apt-get install git instead.
   Next, sign into www.github.com, or sign up if you do not have an account. Make sure to remember the username you give, this will be important for later.

   b. go back to the terminal and run this command, but replace "your_username" with your own name (keep the quotation marks):
   git config –global user.name "your_username"
   and this command, replacing "your_emailid" with your own email address (keep the quotation marks):
   git config –global user.email "your_emailid"
   these commands will link your username and email to your computer, so github knows who authored your commits.

4. clone the shuttle-tracker-android repository. Run the command
   git clone https://github.com/wtg/Shuttle-Tracker-Android.git The code should be found in the folder titled Shuttle-Tracker-Android.

5. Open android studio again, click open and navigate to the shuttle tracker project. You are now able to start working it I think
