OpenHack: A distributed enterprise application is basically a hackathon management service designed specifically to create and organize hackathons for those people who are seeking out to enhance their coding skills on a higher level and of course to enhance their creativity. The hackathons are managed by admin who will create and organize hackathons and allow hackers to participate in them in the form of a team. A team will have a minimum and maximum number of team members who all will register and pay a fees and only after successful payment, they would be able to participate in the Hackathon and submit their code. Once a hackathon has been closed for submissions, the code evaluations will be done by judges who will assign a grade to each team. The judge can be any user who is not himself a participant of the same hackathon he is supposed to evaluate. Additionally, a user can create his own organization on OpenHack which can be joined by other people. These organizations can sponsor Hackathons as well.

In the package, src/main/java/com/openhack, open the file Application.java and run the application. Your backend will be up and running.
Frontend( Reactjs):
Open the frontend folder in one of your editors(preferrably VScode).
In the terminal, run command npm install. This will install all the dependencies including the create-react-app.

Manage Hackathon page allows an admin to open, close and finalize a hackathon.You can also view the leaderboard, payment report and hackathon earning report from this page.
On registering for a hackathon, the particular team member will receive the payment link and they are redirected to the code submission page.They will only be able to submit the code if all of them have paid the fee.
