• For editing the user interface, we strongly recommend Scene Builder
• For a simple setup and testing of the dependencies you should use Docker and Docker Compose

• Checkout the FAF Stack and initialize the database (scripts/init-db.sh). Afterwards boot the api via docker-compose up -d faf-java-api.
• Get some test data and insert it into the MySQL db ( user: root & password: banana). A tool like HeidiSQL can help you with this. This also adds a moderator account with username: test & password: test_password
