This guide assumes you know how to use the command-line and that your machine has php 7.4 and mysql 8 installed.

• install composer: https://getcomposer.org/download/
• git clone the repo and cd to it
• run composer install (at the end it will ask for the database configuration parameters)
• if composer install fails with version issues, you may need to run composer self-update --1 to downgrade to composer version 1
• run php bin/console doctrine:database:create to create the database.
• run php bin/console doctrine:schema:create to create the database schema.
• git clone the card data from https://github.com/zzorba/marvelsdb-json-data

Additional useful commands.
