2. Expo CLI: You can install Expo CLI globally:

   npm install -g expo-cli
   

3. MySQL Database (Optional):

   • Only the Risk Tolerance Assessment feature requires MySQL setup. Feel free to skip MySQL setup; the app will function perfectly without this feature.
   • You need to have MySQL installed on your machine. If you haven't installed MySQL yet, refer to the MySQL installation guide.

Cloning the Repository

1. Open your terminal.

2. Navigate to the directory where you want to clone the repository.

3. Clone the repository using the following command:

   git clone https://github.com/juin03/RinggitSavy.git
   

Setting Up MySQL Database

1. Open your MySQL client (e.g., MySQL Workbench).

2. Create a new schema:

   CREATE SCHEMA `your_database_name`;

   Replace your_database_name with the desired name for your database.

3. Execute the SQL scripts located in src/components/Quiz-JS/Services/:

   • Table Creation: Import TableCreation.sql and execute the script to create the necessary tables.
   • Data Insertion: Import DataInsertion.sql and execute the script to insert initial data into the tables.

4. Modify database connection details:

   • Open connectDB.js located in src/components/Quiz-JS/Services/.
   • Update the host, username, password, and database name as per your MySQL configuration.

Installation

1. Navigate into the cloned repository:

   cd your-react-native-app
   

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install
   

Running the App

1. If you're using Expo, start the Expo development server:

   expo start
   

2. Follow the instructions provided by Expo to run the app on your preferred platform (iOS or Android simulator, or a physical device).

3. If you're not using Expo, you can run the app using:

   npm start
   

Note

• Ensure your MySQL server is running before starting the app for the fully functional app
• Make sure to update the database connection details in connectDB.js to match your MySQL configuration.
• But again, it is totally fine to ignore the set up of MySQL as the app will still function perfectly without this feature

  node connectDB.js
