2. Change the user and password for MySQL in the properties file, located in src/main/resources/application.properties (root/root is configured by default).
3. (Optional) You can modify the default server port by changing the property server.port located in src/main/resources/application.properties , the default value is 8080.
4. Run the aplication using the script startup.sh in the project root folder.
