# Visitor Counter Application
This is a simple web application built with Java, Spring Boot, and Redis. The application increments a counter every time the home page is visited and displays the current visitor count.
## Features
- **Visitor Counter**: Increments and displays the number of visits to the home page.
- **Redis Integration**: Uses Redis to store and manage the visitor count, ensuring persistence across application restarts.
- **Spring Boot**: The application is built using Spring Boot, making it easy to run and deploy.
## Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure you have the following installed on your system:
- **Java 11** or higher
- **Maven** for dependency management and running the application
- **Redis** server
## Getting Started
### 1. Clone the Repository
```bash
git clone https://github.com/lyfe691/View_Counter.git
cd View_Counter
```
### 2. Configure Redis
Make sure Redis is installed and running on your machine. The application is configured to connect to Redis on `localhost` at port `6379` by default.
If you dont have redis installed do this:
#### For Windows
You can't run redis on default on windows, you'll have to use a VM or the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL). This is how you can install it:
1. **Powershell (Administator)** Run this and restart.
```bash
wsl --install
```
2. Now that you have WSL installed you can open your terminal and open a new tab as ubuntu or type ```wsl``` and enter the following commands:
```bash
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install redis
```
3. **Start Redis**
```bash
redis-server
```
#### For MacOS
1. **Install Homebrew**
```bash
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
```
2. **Install Redis**
```bash
brew install redis
```
3. **Start Redis**
```bash
brew services start redis
```
#### For Linux
1. **Install Redis**
```bash
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install redis
```
2. **Start Redis**
```bash
redis-server
```
### 3. Build the Application
Compile and package the application using Maven:
```bash
mvn clean install
```
### 4. Run the Application
Start the Spring Boot application:
```bash
mvn spring-boot:run
```
### 5. Access the Application
Open your web browser and go to:
```
http://localhost:8080
```
Each time you refresh the page, the visitor counter will increment.
