Getting Started

To get application up and running on your local machine, follow these simple steps:

Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following installed:

• Git
• Cabal
• PostgreSQL

Installation

1. Clone the repository

   Open your terminal and clone the Scotty-Crud repository using Git:

   Navigate into the project directory:

   cd Reddit-Clone-Haskell
   

2. Set up the database

   Make sure PostgreSQL is running. Create a new database for the project and note down the credentials; you'll need to configure these in the code.

3. Configure your environment

   Update the database configuration in the application to match your PostgreSQL settings.

4. Run the application

   Use Cabal to run the application:
