• Install .NET dependencies: dotnet restore
• Open the project folder in a code editor of your choice
• Create an appsettings.Development.json file in the project folder (if it does not exist already), and populate it with the JSON snippet below, replacing <client-id> and <client-secret> with your APS Client ID and Client Secret:

{
  "Logging": {
    "LogLevel": {
      "Default": "Information",
      "Microsoft.AspNetCore": "Warning"
    }
  },
  "APS_CLIENT_ID": "<client-id>",
  "APS_CLIENT_SECRET": "<client-secret>"
}
