How to run:

There are two interfaces to this application

Consol:

• And this doesn’t contain all the features and we can run it using only the main and the classes and functionalities.

GUI:

• In GUI we used Qt Creator 6.7.0 and while setting it up chose desktop development. • Open a new project and put all the classes (Accounts, Article, customVector, MaxHeap) in the project (don’t put the main and functionalities) • Put all the files in the GUI_QT6 in the project (don’t take the CMakeLists) • From CMakeLists take

find_package(QT NAMES Qt6 Qt5 REQUIRED COMPONENTS Widgets TextToSpeech Multimedia MultimediaWidgets) find_package(Qt${QT_VERSION_MAJOR} REQUIRED COMPONENTS Widgets TextToSpeech)

And

set(PROJECT_SOURCES main.cpp mainwindow.cpp mainwindow.h mainwindow.ui json.h Accounts.cpp Accounts.h Users.cpp Admins.cpp MaxHeap.h Date.h Date.cpp MaxHeap.cpp Article.cpp customVector.h adminform.h adminform.cpp adminform.ui Article.h userform.h userform.cpp userform.ui post.ui post.h post.cpp )

And

find_package(Qt6 COMPONENTS Core Gui Widgets Multimedia MultimediaWidgets TextToSpeech REQUIRED)

include_directories(${Qt6Core_INCLUDE_DIRS} ${Qt6Gui_INCLUDE_DIRS} ${Qt6Widgets_INCLUDE_DIRS} ${Qt6Multimedia_INCLUDE_DIRS} ${Qt6MultimediaWidgets_INCLUDE_DIRS})

target_link_libraries(“YOUR PROJECT NAME” PRIVATE Qt${QT_VERSION_MAJOR}::Widgets Qt${QT_VERSION_MAJOR}::MultimediaWidgets Qt${QT_VERSION_MAJOR}::TextToSpeech)

replace “YOUR PROJECT NAME” with your’s

• Take all the three JSON files and bro.ico from cmake-build-debug directory and put it with the .exe • Take the Video directory from GUI_QT>Release and put it with the Dsa_gui.exe file.

• If you want to run the application without doing all of these steps just go to GUI_QT>Release and run the Dsa_gui.exe file
