This program lets you create tournaments (currently round robin), record scores and view the table. It is created using plain HTML and JavaScript for the UI and Java with PostgreSQL for the server and the database.
This program uses Java for the backend operations, hence you will need to have JRE installed. To do this in Ubuntu, first update the package repository by typing
sudo apt update
Then, install JRE by typing
sudo apt install default-jre
This program uses PostgreSQL for the database which you need to have installed. To install, type
sudo apt install postgresql-12
Moreover, the Java server connects to Postgres through a role with username and password java, and you will need to create this role. First, open a terminal and connect to Postgres with the superuser by typing
sudo -u postgres psql
Now you should see the psql console in your terminal which looks like this:
postgres#=
Now, create a user named fixturemaker with password java by typing
CREATE USER fixturemaker WITH PASSWORD 'java';
You will also need to create a main database for fixturemaker to log in to. To do that, type
CREATE DATABASE fixturemaker;
Moreover, give fixturemaker permission to create tables and schemas on this database by typing
GRANT CREATE ON DATABASE fixturemaker TO fixturemaker;
Finally, you need to download the the Java driver for PostgreSQL (licensed by BSD-2) and put it in the lib folder (create the folder if necessary), which you can do from here.
Now you are ready to run the program. First, move inside the folder by opening this folder in a terminal and typing cd bin. Then, start the server by typing
java -cp ../lib/*: tournament.Server
Now, you can open src/html/tournament.html using your browser to use the program. Make sure to close the server (closing the terminal or terminating is sufficient) when you are done.
