# Dental Manager - Starter

A monorepo setup to manage both Backend and Frontend of the Dental Manager application.

## 🖥️ Setup Guide (Fresh Machine)

Follow these steps in order after cloning the repository.

### Step 1 — Clone the repository

```sh
git clone <your-repo-url>
cd DentalManagementMHAprilgg
```

### Step 2 — Install Node.js

Required to run the Backend and Frontend.

```sh
curl -fsSL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_20.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

# Verify
node -v   # should print v20.x.x
npm -v
```

### Step 3 — Install Python

Required to run the Selenium and OCR services.

```sh
sudo apt-get install -y python3 python3-pip python3-venv

# Verify
python3 --version   # should print 3.10 or higher
```

### Step 4 — Install Chrome

Required for the Selenium service to control a browser.

```sh
wget -q -O - https://dl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub | sudo apt-key add -
echo "deb [arch=amd64] http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb/ stable main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/google-chrome.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y google-chrome-stable

# Verify
google-chrome --version
```

> The `webdriver-manager` package (included in `requirements.txt`) automatically downloads the matching ChromeDriver — no manual driver setup needed.

### Step 5 — Install PostgreSQL

Primary database for the application.

```sh
sudo apt-get install -y postgresql postgresql-contrib
sudo systemctl enable postgresql
sudo systemctl start postgresql

# Create a database and user (replace values as needed)
sudo -u postgres psql -c "CREATE USER dental_user WITH PASSWORD 'yourpassword';"
sudo -u postgres psql -c "CREATE DATABASE dental_db OWNER dental_user;"

# Verify
psql -U dental_user -d dental_db -c "\conninfo"
```

> Then update `DATABASE_URL` in your `.env` file:
> ```
> DATABASE_URL="postgresql://dental_user:yourpassword@localhost:5432/dental_db"
> ```

### Step 6 — Install Redis

Used as the job queue for Selenium and OCR background tasks.

```sh
sudo apt-get install -y redis-server
sudo systemctl enable redis-server
sudo systemctl start redis-server

# Verify
redis-cli ping   # should print: PONG
```

### Step 7 — Install Node.js dependencies

```sh
npm install
```

### Step 8 — Install Python dependencies

Each Python service has its own dependencies:

```sh
# Selenium automation service
cd apps/SeleniumService
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
cd ../..

# Payment OCR service
cd apps/PaymentOCRService
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
cd ../..
```

### Step 9 — Set up environment variables

Copy the `.env.example` files and fill in the required values.

```sh
npm run setup:env
```

### Step 10 — Set up the database

```sh
# Run migrations
npm run db:migrate

# Generate Prisma types
npm run db:generate

# Insert seed data
npm run db:seed
```

### Step 11 — Run the app

Open two terminals:

**Terminal 1** — Backend + Frontend:
```sh
npm run dev
```

**Terminal 2** — Selenium service:
```sh
cd apps/SeleniumService
python3 agent.py
```
