#### Steps to run

- Update the connection string in appsettings.json in SimplCommerce.WebHost
- Update the connection string in `src/SimplCommerce.WebHost/appsettings.json` if it's needed. In case you are using SQL LocalDB, change the connection string to:

```json
{

`"DefaultConnection": "Server=(localdb)\\mssqllocaldb;Database=SimplCommerce;Trusted_Connection=True;TrustServerCertificate=true;MultipleActiveResultSets=true"`
}
- Ensure you have a database named `SimplCommerce` created in your SQL instance, or change the `Database` name in the connection string to match your environment.
- Build the whole solution.
- In Solution Explorer, make sure that SimplCommerce.WebHost is selected as the Startup Project
- Open the Package Manager Console Window and make sure that SimplCommerce.WebHost is selected as the Default project. Then type "Update-Database" then press "Enter". This action will create the database schema.
