# Starting The Application

Clone the below repository on the server

```
git clone --recurse-submodules git@gitlab.com:shine2/nse-gold-traceability.git
```

To initialize, fetch and checkout any nested submodules. The below foolproof can be used:`git submodule update --init --recursive`.

Run the below git command to fetch all the latest changes in submodules:

```
git submodule update --remote
```

Once we have the code, all we need to do is run the `swawn.sh` script file and it will take care of:

* setting up the docker swarms
* creating and initializing the mongodb replica set cluster
* creating latest images for docker
* starting all the micro-services

```
$ . ./swawn.sh
```

After these steps, we will have our application server up and running in minutes.
