Configuration

Main

1. Create a .env file in the root directory containing the environment variables as specified in the .env.sample file in the repository
2. Create a config folder in the root directory containing:
   1. classrooms.json - an array of all the classrooms
   2. courses.json - an array of the names of all courses
   3. information.json - an array of all the course information
   4. participants.json - an array of all courses and their number of participants

Sessions

Create a sessions folder in the root directory. All the session schedule files should go there. The files names should match the respective names in the sessions.json config file.
