Configure Optimizely NuGet source in Visual Studio

NuGet packages are available on https://nuget.optimizely.com, which does not require authentication.

1. Go to Visual Studio > Tools > Options > NuGet Package Manager > Package Sources.
2. Click Add:
   1. Name – Configured Commerce
   2. Source – https://nuget.optimizely.com/feed/packages.svc
3. Restore packages.

Configure the local environment

Open Visual Studio and rebuild the solution.

For SQL, follow these steps:

1. Create a database within sql server
2. Run ./database/Insite.Commerce.StartingDatabase.sql against the database.
3. Optionally run ./database/Insite.Commerce.SampleData.sql against the database.
4. Update ./src/InsiteCommerce.Web/config/connectionStrings.config so it can connect to your new database.
   connectionStrings.default.config is copied to connectionStrings.config during a build. If you skipped step 1, you can copy the file manually.

For IIS, follow these steps:

1. Add a new site to IIS, pointing to ./src/InsiteCommerce.Web.
2. Set up bindings:
   1. For simple setups, using a non-standard port like 8080 is fine. The site can then be accessed at http://localhost:8080.
   2. If dealing with multiple projects, it can help to have them setup with hostnames on port 80:
      projectA.local.com
projectB.local.com
      This requires entries in c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts:
      127.0.0.1 projectA.local.com
127.0.0.1 projectB.local.com
