Roadblocks / hurdles

• Since, I am using a macOS based system, As quoted by the mentors --- fossology isn't compatible with macOS, It has to be a linux distribution (ubuntu/fedora).
• With lots of research, I finally decided to install a virtual machine. Most of the virtual machines weren't compatible with the arm architecture.
• Finally I got one VM service which was supported in my system. It is called UTM.
• After setting up UBUNTU 22.04 on my VM, and installing all the dependencies via sudo utils/fo-installdeps, fossology still threw the following error,

P.S.~ Currently, I'm stuck here. I will be giving one more day to resolve this. If the error still persists, I'll be moving onto developing the pages in the UI Project which are not implemented.

[UPDATED]

• Finally, I am able to do some progress. I was able to set up fossology on my machine using a local VM instance and used ssh for development via vs-code.
• Currently, I'm refering to the OPENAPI(Swagger) docs and trying to test the existing apis to understand the flow.

Conclusion and further plans

• Currently, I'm designing the addUser API in the openapi.yaml file.
• In the next week, I'll be implementing /users POST route for creating a new user via REST API.
